In this issue, we tell stories of motherhood that blur its lines with childhood in of itself. We tell stories of resilience, hardship, dedication - of strong, positive and arduous bonds and also those bonds permeating with pain, instability and hunger for affection. And although motherhood is always complex and sometimes stricken with difficulty and isolation - there is no mother child relationship devoid of love.

No matter what being a child or a mother has looked like for you - as it comes in all shapes and forms - we invite you on a journey through that which is indefinable. A journey where you can ask yourself -- what does motherhood mean to you? Who has been a mother to you and above all, how have you been a mother to yourself?

She is holding a small object in her left hand and has one leg up on the ladder. There is a colorful abstract painting on the ground and the words "Issue 002" in red on the upper left. The large text reads "MWP MAG" with additional text "Dear Momma" and a tagline at the bottom that says "A collection of images and messages to our mothers and children."
