Wishing an amazing day to all the moms who tirelessly do whatever it takes to consciously and lovingly raise the babes.
I love the word 'raise' for its definition is what makes being a mother such an honor and privilege.
Raise: to elevate, boost, up-lift, enhance, support, promote, nurture, introduce, invoke, form, call forth, expand, strengthen, inspire, prepare, encourage, provide, shape and educate.
But beyond the honor and privilege of guiding and sharing those sweet tender moments with our children as we watch them evolve, is the gift that comes after the raising is over. The heartwarming return of all the love and respect we gave.
That is what I'm most grateful for this Mother's Day.
