Mother’s Day has come and gone, and the day can be filled with so many different feelings. Some mothers are at home with their families and feeling content. Some are at the cemetery visiting their mother the only way they can. Some are not even speaking to their mother’s and have a hard time getting through the day. Then, there are those who have had a rocky relationship with their mom and have a new sense of appreciation for this day.
Celebrities are human to, and they have their own family battles going on that shapes their lives. Tallulah is the youngest child of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, and we got to see a new side to the mother-daughter relationship she has with her mom through an Instagram post. Tallulah posted a picture of her and Demi in honor of mother’s day, but it was the caption that really stole our hearts.
She starts the post with saying, “channeling love and strength to every mother to be, tired mamas, stepmoms, and mamas who’ve lose something precious. I’m sending it to anyone who struggles to celebrate a day when it reminds them of a loss.” She then opened up and said that there was a 3-year period when she did not speak to her mom and how that changed the meaning of this day for her.
When talking about how she would see mother’s day during the falling out she said, “During that shattered time this day would transport me from fragmented pieces to absolute dust. I remember tearing up driving to work upon hearing a radio ad that cheerily recommend which ‘perfume Mom would absolutely adore.’” She then goes on to say that everything was changed when she was able to forgive.
She states that the here and now is more important, and that her mother has a huge presence in her life and that she marvels at all that Demi has taught her and ends with a simple “I love you.” The fall out that she is referring to started when there was concerns about substance abuse that caused the pair to not speak to each other for three years. It is warming to see that the pair have grown and are now back to where a mother and daughter should be.
