Lena Dunham took time to celebrate her mother today, while also sharing words of comfort to those who can't or don't want to commemorate the occasion.
"For those who aren’t necessarily welcoming Mother’s Day, I see you, I love you and wherever you are today- resentful, lonely, nostalgic, resigned or maybe even joyful- you are already #wellenough," the actress and writer tweeted, adding that the holiday "can also summon a tidal wave of grief for those who have lost their own mother figure or their ability to be a mother in the way they’d always dreamed."
