"Te traigo estas flores"

This month's cover is in honor of Mother's Day and Cinco de Mayo. My mother, the late Janie Castañeda loved flowers so I dedicate this cover to her and all mothers who have departed from us. Christian took this photo at the 2023 Cinco de Mayo parade and it was perfect for this month as in May we celebrate both. Mother's Day, as you know is a celebration honoring the mother of the family or individual, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society - and yes, you don't have to give birth to someone for to be motherly. Mother's Day is celebrated on different days in many parts of the world, in Mexico it will be held May 10, 2024. In the United States, May 12, 2024.
