Linda Ronstadt gave the world her voice.

Now her children are giving her something quieter, but just as meaningful.

LINDA RONSTADT’S MOTHER’S DAY IS ABOUT GRATITUDE.

As Mother’s Day arrives, fans are thinking about the family Linda chose to build away from the cameras.

Her children, Mary Clementine and Carlos, have always lived private lives, but they have remained one of Linda’s greatest joys.

But here’s what makes this so touching…

Linda never married. She once said road life made relationships difficult, and that “marriage wasn’t for me anyway.” Her high-profile relationships included Jerry Brown, George Lucas, and Aaron Neville, but motherhood came later, on her own terms. She adopted Mary Clementine in 1990 and Carlos in 1994, and deliberately kept them out of the spotlight while they grew up.

And that’s not all…

Reports say Linda now shares her San Francisco home with Mary, who moved in to support her as Linda lives with progressive supranuclear palsy, the Parkinson’s-like disease that took her singing voice and fine motor skills.

Here’s a look at Linda’s life now…

Here’s the truth…

For Linda, family has always meant food, music, and memory.

She grew up surrounded by Mexican songs, traditions, and family meals, and she raised her children with that same sense of culture and belonging.

So a Mother’s Day with Mexican food, music, and time together feels exactly like the kind of love Linda gave them first.

Now Mary and Carlos can honor the woman who gave them a life, a home, and a family.

This touching song about Linda and Emmylou’s experiences with motherhood is instantly relatable to all parents.
