To all the moms
Happy Mother’s Day!
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day in the US, and whether you’re a mom, a grandmother, an aunt, a sister, a daughter, a niece… you’re probably mothering someone.
Thank you for the nurturing, and the caregiving, and the feeding and clothing, and the carpooling, and the endless cooking and laundry that you do.
Thank you for the hours you’ve spent listening, the heartaches you’ve shared, the band-aids you’ve applied, and the tears you’ve cried.
Thank you for the joys you’ve shared, the hugs you’ve given, the encouragement you’ve offered, and the celebrations you’ve organized.
Thank you for all the advice, and for the times you were brave enough to share it – and brave enough to keep it to yourself.
Thank you for being there for all the special people in your life.
The world is a better place for your mothering.
