Mother. Just the word itself invokes power. Power granted by the universe to protect their loved ones through grace, courage, and unconditional love.
The first voice you hear upon your entry. That voice will stay with you your entire life, as you navigate childhood into adulthood, facing the usual and not so usual challenges that come along. That voice is the one you seek during happy times, to share good news, but also the voice you seek during troubling times. It is the voice of unconditional love. The voice of guidance, support, and wisdom. The voice which provides comfort when your world turns upside down. The voice which cheers you on when everyone else is not supportive. The voice which believes in you, unconditionally and unhesitatingly, offering words of encouragement to follow your dream and heart.
Mothers are empowered with grace, stemming from unconditional love. Mothers are nurturers, given a great responsibility to carry a human into the world. The upbringing of a human is the hardest job in the world, there are no set of instructions on being a mother. Many mistakes are made along the way, but the importance is that lessons are learned on this journey.
Pay tribute to mothers, as their journey is long, and, sometimes, very difficult. Without mothers, the world would come to a halt.
