Mother's Day: Love Each Other



Hug your mom if you’re close to her. Call her if you’re not. Tell her how much she means to you and how much you love her. Apologize for being a brat when you were in high school and tell her that after all this time, she really was right. Whether she carried you for 9 months and brought you into this world. Whether she exhausted emotions, time, and money to adopt you into her own family and give you a life you wouldn’t otherwise have. Thank her, cherish her. She hasn’t had a good night sleep since you were born. She worries about you, but knows you’re strong enough to make it in this world.

Also, don’t forget the women in your life who are like a mother to you. Your grandma, your aunt, neighbor, mentor, sister, or a close friend. Any woman who provides you with inspiration, drive, encouragement, and love should be celebrated this weekend. And on that note, it’s not just women. Some children grow up with the loss of a mother and have a father who takes on the role of both parents. That man deserves to be celebrated on mother’s day as well. Most of all, just love each other.

This post is so sweet! It made me teary eyed just reading it! As someone who lives miles from her mother ( me in Northern VA and her in CT), this made me wish I lived closer! Thanks for your blog :)
