Celebrating Women’s History Month: “My Mother’s Smile: A Letter to My Children”

In continuation of this month’s series on the legacy of the women exemplars of our lives, I would like to share again this memoir written by my mom, Joy Palma. The piece originally appeared on the site on Mother’s Day 2020. It’s a tribute to her mom, Theresa Rubbo (whom my wife and I named our twin B after).
