I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the mothers I’m surrounded by and the way they exemplify motherhood in exceptional ways that often go unnoticed, unacknowledged, or under appreciated. My friends who seem to keep fighting the toughest battles on after another, who are raising children while going to school AND working so they can create a better life, those who left unhealthy marriages and are figuring out how to do it all on their own, and those who are learning how to be a great mother without having an example of what that looks like. So I want to give not only a Happy Mother’s Day but an “I see you” and “I’m proud of you” to all of those who
-have softened more than they thought possible
-have become stronger than they ever should’ve had to become
-give more than they have to give then somehow manage to give some more
-healed so they wouldn’t repeat unhealthy patterns
-work harder and reach higher to be an example anything is possible
-set difficult boundaries to protect themselves and their children
-chose the harder path that will be better in the long run
