Josh Brolin Instagram – What is a mother? What is a mother but that tucked sheet under your chin with the face a little too close when she says goodnight and you feel her breath hot and the dessert you might have shared together tickles your nostrils. What is a mother but that hand that you grab as fear attacks (and how it is all so suddenly scary) and that hand feels like a thousand militaries on your side because you know she’d fight to the death for you and it makes you, in your own little secret way, smile to yourself. What is a mother but a she whom creates a home deep within the gut made of soft macrame and a few even softer stuffed animals that squeak when you least expect it. And what is a mother but that which you do, my dear: when you can’t call because the kids are running too far East and too far West and you’ve stretched your arms out as far as biology will allow — and that’s when what is a father and what is a son and what is a daughter kicks in to run into those open working arms and thank you with wild abandon and grace; because when you’re a mother it is the stock that all our flavor pulls from and from whence all our character grows. Happy Mother’s Day to @kathrynbrolin #debbyadair #crazyjane @barbrastreisand, @copelandboyd @djboydbrown22 and all the other mothers out there who are passionate about it all. ❤️❤️❤️❤️💎
