💐 Happy Mother’s Day from UPAN 💐
Today we honor every mother, grandmother, stepmother, foster mother, caregiver, and mother figure whose love continues across distance, walls, and difficult circumstances.
For families impacted by incarceration, Mother’s Day can bring a mix of emotions — love, grief, hope, worry, strength, and longing all at once. We see the mothers who keep showing up, who answer the calls, write the letters, care for children, offer encouragement, and carry burdens that often go unseen.
Your love matters. Your advocacy matters. Your presence matters.
To all mothers and caregivers in the UPAN community: thank you for the compassion, resilience, and steady love you bring to your families and to this work.
From all of us at the Utah Prisoner Advocate Network, we wish you a peaceful and meaningful Mother’s Day.
