To all the mothers who have children who are settled in their own lives...
To all the mothers who have children who are adults but in transition...
To all the mothers who have children who have flown the nest and are doing their own mothering...
To all the mothers who have children at university who are starting a new journey....
To all the mothers in the thick of trying to guide those recalcitrant teenagers towards some goal - whether hands on or hands off....
To all the mothers with pre-teens or young teens who are wondering what ever made them think they wanted to procreate....
To all the mothers with small children who are still trying to weather the ups, downs, aches, and discoveries of the emerging child...
To all the mothers with babies who only remember being well rested as a distant, happy state of being...
To all the mothers incubating...our thoughts, prayers, hopes and dreams are incubating with you...
To all the mothers who's children have special needs and special concerns such that their path in life will be unique...
To all the mothers who are raising children by choice despite not having incubated them....
To all the mothers who have lost their children to whatever agency....
I Salute You....
I thank you for being mothers. I thank you for standing as straight and strong as you can. I thank you for doing what you think is right. I thank you for being part of this sisterhood. I thank you for caring, nurturing, yelling, arguing, purchasing, making, holding, crying, hoping, believing, and persevering through the mothering.
Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers in my life!
