Your mom
may or may not be the woman who gave birth to you. Whether the woman you call
mom is your birth mom, stepmom, or someone who care so much for you that she
spent her time to raise and love you; consider yourself extremely blessed.
Since
becoming a mom, I have learned many things. I have learned the love and joy
every mom experiences for their children. I have experienced the every day fear
moms have when thinking of or dealing with their child’s safety and
well-being. I now know what sleep
deprivation really is, what sacrifice looks like and what patience feels like.
Moms don’t have an easy job. They work around the clock and ask very little in
return. Hugs, kisses and cuddles are our best forms of payment. Seeing huge
smiles on our family’s faces and knowing that they are well taken care of is
our best reward.
This year
for mother’s day don’t just give your mom a gift and card. Spend a day walking
in her shoes (if you don’t already know what motherhood is like). Really
appreciate her and all she has done for you. Once you understand what she had
to sacrifice and all she did for you growing up, then you’ll truly appreciate
what the role of mom is all about. Mother’s day is a day set aside for our
mothers, but we should spend every day appreciating and honoring the amazing
women in our life.
To all you moms and grandmas, Happy Mothers Day. May God
continue to give you the strength, love, compassion and joy of motherhood. To
my mom, I love you so much and am so thankful and blessed to have such a
wonderful role model and friend. I never knew how tiring and exhausting this
job can be, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I am so thankful that you
never gave up on us kids and put all you had into teaching us and helping us
grow. I pray God blesses you every day and increases your joy with your
grandchildren. Happy Mothers Day to the most amazing mom and grandmother!
