She is my first, great love. She was a wonderful, rare woman–you do not know; as strong, and steadfast, and generous as the sun.”
D.H. LAWRENCE- Novelist
It goes without saying that motherhood is one of the toughest jobs there is, whose reward lies within itself. Who can quantify what mothers give up for the sake of their children? Their jobs, physical appearance, sleep, peace and quiet material joys, and even their lives if it comes to.
“I think in a lot of ways unconditional love is a myth. My mom’s the only reason I know it’s a real thing.”
CONOR OBERST- Singer-Songwriter
It’s a wonderful privilege to be able to celebrate the wonderful women in our lives, and a great responsibility too. Rewarding as it, all the hard work and sacrifices moms all over the world make for their families could never be repaid.
