A bright yellow cartoon duckling stands playfully by a blue stream under a large tree. The duck is wearing a large blue sunhat adorned with flowers and a red bow, a yellow top with white buttons, a purple ruffled tutu, and blue bloomers. The background features lush green grass and soft blue mountains under a sunny sky.

Happy Mother's Day! My daughter is far away, travelling the world and I haven't seen her for nearly 2 years. She is discovering new places, cultures, people, lifestyles, cuisines as well as herself. I feel very lucky to be her mum! 🩷🌼
