Shining stars: On Mother’s Day, Madonna said of her children: “They are all shining stars and I am glad that their souls chose me to be their mother.”
“But I was also dazed and confused about how I would balance being a good mother and being an uncompromising artist.”
“As a mother, I have experienced my highest highs and lowest lows.” “No one could have prepared me for this,” she wrote.
“To say I’m proud of my children sounds arrogant or implies ownership,” she explained.
Or rather, they are all shining stars and I am glad that their souls chose me to be their mother.”
