When we find ourselves in the thick of it, we’ll look at each other and say, “It’s a season” and I’ll catch myself looking forward to a future season (with less diapers and tantrums). I love how you bring us back to truly enjoying the present. We’re in the good ole days right now. Love you so much.”

Kristen Alderson (ex-Kiki, GH)
Celebrating her first Mother’s Day as mom to infant daughter Kiera, Alderson reflected on her relationship with her own mom, Kathy. “Mom, we’ve always been inseparable, and I always said ‘I love you more’ after you would say I love you. You would say ‘Absolutely no way you love me more, just wait until you have your kids.’ And now I get it. I’ve never felt a love as deep as my love for Kiera, but I can only hope and pray that Kiera loves me half as much as how much I love you! Watching you being the most amazing Ganny has given me a glimpse of how incredible you were with me as an infant, you’re simply the best! Taylor [Alderson’s fiancé] was working a lot in the beginning months of Kiera, and my mom stepped in as my partner and we had the best time. Thank you so much for opening the house for us to move in and for showering all of us with so much love and light and happiness! It’s been the most amazing experience getting to raise Kiera with you. I love you beyond. You are everything. Happy Mother’s Day.”
