WHO LOVE AND NURTURE AND BRING COMFORT TO ANOTHER LIFE.
THANK YOU 💗
I post the following every year to honor all the mother's that don't fit the standard image or definition of what we think of when we think of this day. This time I want to add my best wishes also to those who mother, not recognized for what they contribute to the world.
You are seen, you of other genders who mother. You who mother your neighbors children. You who mother animals. You who mother through your financial contributions to children in need. You teachers who provide mothering to children who might not receive enough at home. You who mother foster children. And for all the children who have to mother themselves. You are no less to be honored today than any other mother who gives succor and safety and Love.
THANK YOU 💗
"Mothers in shelters. Mothers separated from their children for reasons they don't understand. Mothers grieving at the graves of departed children gone before their time and mothers sitting at the beds of terminally ill children. Mothers in prison and mothers separated from their children because of their own addictions. Mothers without hope who are mourning children who have been taken by spouses who's whereabouts are not known. Mothers holding hungry babies in refugee camps. Mothers whose children have been hurt or disabled in ways neither they nor we can reason nor change. Mothers who have been forgotten by their children today. All mothers suffering every where in this world. And most especially to mothers, who today, have lost a child."
THANK YOU 💗
