baby madonna (Patreon)

morning

greetings from covidland

still tired af

and maybe i’m just very emo and loopy from the covid but aw this picture. it’s little baby madonna, with her mother (also madonna), who died when madonna-the-second was only five.

i think about little madonna and her feelings a lot. i always have. she was such a huge part of little amanda’s own life and development. i still untangle ways she influenced me, angered me, made me struggle, moved me. she still challenges me. i love her.

madonna is 64 today. and look at this tiny baby and this beautiful mama. this moment.

that’s all. as you were.
