Celebrating this day as a mother makes me appreciate my mother (and father) all that much more. It's only now, as an adult, that I can truly appreciate what they have sacrificed in order to raise me and my siblings. The things they did without. The attitudes that they had to put up with. The discipline that they had to mete out to teach us right from wrong. All of it... the good, the bad and the tough love.
Parenting is not an easy job. It is one of the toughest ones anyone can undertake. It may drive one crazy at times. But the kids, they're worth it. For the love that they bring into your life and for the love that you bring into theirs.
Thanks Mom. Thanks Dad. I love you both.
Happy Mother's Day!
