Mother like no other

 HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

To ALL women...

Because all women have mothered someone at one point

in their life, it's just what we do.

We care, we nurture, we "mother":

For the mothers who are knee deep in family, this is

your day to feel like a queen, please do. It's entirely

deserved and no one needs a day of pampering more. The

chores can wait, be at rest.

For the mothers who have lost children, this day is another

on your "harder" calendar, and for that I send you love, you

are so very brave, every day.

To the women who no longer have their mother, this day is

a heart-breaking reminder of an overwhelming grief. Your

mother would want this day to be a time to say her sayings,

cook her favourite meal and play her favourite songs. So,

please don't avoid that today. I know it hurts, but it will help

the heal.

To the women who have not made it into motherhood, who 

so desperately want to. This day is tough, there is nothing

you want more than a 3 am wake up and a hand-drawn card

full of love.

Please take today to acknowledge all the hard work and

energy you have put into your endeavours. I see the hold in 

your heart. I see you and I want you to know you're a 

warrior of love and you deserve so much joy in life. Please

let it in.

To the women who mother another child, you are a glorious

example of humanity and love, my heart fills to bursting 

just to witness the gift you give. Thank you.

To the women who feel like they have not had that maternal

love they so crave, please be the "new". You need to make 

much love, so that the future outweighs the past. It starts

with you. You deserve it, create it. It will fill you.

To the women,

ALL the women,

Happy Mother's Day...

We mother like no other.
