A Mother's Love

If you’ve ever known a mother’s love, then count yourself one of the luckiest people on earth.

Because honestly, there’s nothing else quite like it. Real love — hits different.It’s the love that stays when you’re at your worst. The love that forgives before you even ask.The love that doesn’t keep score.The love that says, You don’t have to be perfect to be worthy.It’s the kind of love that shows up — messy, tired, running on coffee and pure stubbornness — and still somehow gives you everything you need.

"Being a mom means giving love even when you're running on empty. It's about showing up—every single day—no matter how tired, frustrated, or overwhelmed you are." — Amanda, mother of two

It’s the 2 AM talks when your world feels like it’s falling apart.It’s the “text me when you get home” even when you're 28.It’s the fierce, silent prayers whispered into the night.The sacrifices you didn’t even see until you grew up and realized what they cost.

A mother’s love isn’t perfect — it’s human and raw and sometimes stretched thin.But it’s real. It’s constant. It’s the kind of thing that roots you to this world even when everything else feels shaky.

"You learn to be patient, even when you're late for work and your toddler wants to tie their own shoes for the first time." — Janelle, mom of three

Mother’s Day isn’t just about flowers or cards (although hey, those are cute too).It’s about pausing — really pausing — to see the woman who built you piece by piece.The one who stayed when it was hard.The one who made you laugh when you didn’t think you could.The one who loved you even when you weren’t very lovable.

"It takes courage—to let them grow, to let them fall, and to trust that you’ve given them the tools to get back up." — Linh, single mom

And “mother” isn’t always about biology.Sometimes it's the aunt who always had your back,the big sister who basically raised you,the grandma who cheered at every random school event,the friend who mothered your heart through your worst seasons.Love is love.

"She’s angry now, and that breaks my heart in places I didn’t know could ache. I replay the things I said, the things I didn’t say. But no matter how far she pulls away, my love doesn’t shrink—it waits. Quietly, patiently, always." — Denise, mom of a teenage daughter

So today, we see you. We celebrate you. We say thank you — out loud, with our whole hearts. If you’ve ever known that kind of love, hold it close. It’s one of life’s greatest miracles. And if you are that kind of love for someone else —you’re the miracle too.

Happy Mother’s Day.You’re are nothing short of extraordinary.
