Today
we celebrate... the mundane and the extraordinary, the expected and the
surprises that we call motherhood; the inexplicable passion to protect
the very thing that can drive us to moments of insanity and bliss. We
celebrate the love that pours through the sacrifices, of time, money,
and body, in the hopes that we can fill the world with compassionate
responsible people who know how to love AND balance a checkbook... Our
jobs are never finished, for I am a daughter too who still leans heavily
on my own incredible mom. So I say thank you, to all the moms out
there, for washing the same dish 50 million times, reminding your kids
to say please and thank you, for volunteering at the school when you’d
rather be getting a pedicure, for drying tears, pulling teeth, changing
diapers, cleaning up barf… and for molding our future. Here’s to doing
our best, forgiving our shortcomings, and to never giving up. Happy
Mother’s Day.
