It’s not always easy to be a Mom. In fact, I think it is the hardest job in the world. But we are all so blessed to be mothers, and I know that there is not a single one of us who would trade our role as Mother for anything in the world.

To mothers everywhere - young and old...to those who became pregnant easily and to those who once struggled, like me, to become a mother...to those who still hope to be mothers one day...and to those who maybe do not have their own children, but you are like a mother to someone in your life...to those who still have a mother to hold, and to those who miss their mothers dearly...Happy, Happy Mother’s Day, to each and every one of you.

You deserve the very best, today and always!

Most of all - Happy Mother’s Day to my beautiful mother. I always looked up to you when I was a little girl, Mom - my mother who looked like a Barbie doll and did everything with grace and a smile on her face. But now that I know for myself what it is like to be a mother, I appreciate you and love you more than you will ever know. Thank you for being such a wonderful Mother!
Happy Mother’s Day!
