Mothers are seen in the everyday moments we take for granted. Their love and sacrifice last decades after the countless diaper changes, scraped knees, bruised egos, and stomach flus tended to.
The endless weekends spent on gym bleachers, late nights pouring over math homework, and hugs and kisses given every single day.
The meals cooked (and sometimes ordered or picked up), the clothes cleaned, and the homes tidied day after day after day.
Those billions of small tasks and moments that are never seen or celebrated are what has made each of us who we are today.
The women who carried us for 9 months and were there from the beginning, and the women who cared not because they had to but because they wanted to, have made each of us who we are today.
A woman who has freely given her time and energy and love to someone else with no expectation of a return is a mother.
While mothers can be seen in their children in the slope of a nose, waves in hair, or a dimple in a chin, they are also seen in their children’s actions. We act based on what we learned from those who came before us.
Thank you to all the women who selflessly give guidance, love, and support to those in need. Thank you for lasagna and clean underwear and band-aids on scrapes. Thank you for confidence, patience, and empathy. Thank you for raising the next generation. Thank you for believing in a bright tomorrow and doing everything in your power to make it happen.
