That’s such a heartfelt letter, and it really resonated with me!

I worked for Glenby International in Oxford and went on to buy a salon at 20 against lots of advice. My wonderful husband and 3 sons constantly juggled sport clubs and school pick ups whilst I worked and took evening classes to get to university at 35yrs and become a midwife. They’re all wonderful sons and we’re very close but they do love to tell tales about me sleeping in the car outside piano lessons and how our eldest son would give our youngest son a ‘backy’ to get back from school when I was late! Lots of love though and I wouldn’t change a thing.

Thank you for sharing and happy Mother’s Day Bobbi. 😘

When I had the pleasure of interviewing you for InStyle back in 2001 with Sylvia Plachy doing the photos, I remember you and Sylvia talking about your sons and you were both so proud of them. I didn't have my daughter then and it was wonderful listening to your shared joys of motherhood. Her son is Adrien Brody and every time I see him on screen I think of the secret power of proud mums and the great men you've raise. Happy Mother's Day!

Letters spoken from the heart are the best! I teared up reading this sweet and beautiful letter to your children. As a mother, I can definitely relate. How we spend time on the little things that may seem irrelevant in hindsight. You are fearless in your career yet have such a soft spot for what matters most, and isn’t that lovely. You are one of the greats and an inspiration to me.

Happy Mother's Day, Bobbi!! So well said, and I totally agree with you on being this kind of mom. I had 3 sons, then the daughter I longed for sneaked in to our family as well. Glad you love being a mom!
