Here's to Mothers
Sunday, May 10th, 2015 09:14Who raised us, fed us, clothed us, loved us. Who guided our first steps and applauded our first words. Who kissed our injuries better and comforted our heartbreaks.
Here's also to the mothers-to-be and all the sleepless nights and moments of joy ahead.
Here's also to the would-be mothers and all the lives they have touched regardless.
Here's to the mothers who have lost their children, through estrangement or bereavement.
Here's to the absent mothers, the abusive mothers, and to all who survived them.
And here's to my mom, who is always willing to listen, to talk me out of impulse purchases, to explain a new word or idea, who recognises I am an independent adult but sometimes still need advice and hugs, who doesn't like the taste of alcohol but will still try my cocktail concoctions.
Happy Mother's Day.
