Mom

Moms are unbelievable. Consider for a moment all that Moms are, all that they do, all that they are responsible for. Where would we be without our moms? We couldn't survive without them.

Consider what we ask of moms. Their responsibility is to bring us into the world - to bear children. They go through the pain and discomfort of pregnancy, labor, and delivery for what? At the end of the day we all leave our moms. We go out into the world and build lives of our own. I know of no other people, other than moms, who endure the pain and suffering of bringing children into the world, care for them, raise them, teach them, train them, protect them, provide for them, and nurture them, only to ultimately set them free to lives of their own forever while watching from the sidelines as life moves on.

There is no one living today who does not owe an unpayable debt of gratitude to their mother. Today is a perfect day to repay just a small portion of that debt. Love your mother and treat her well.
