There is not a job on this planet that requires so much from somebody with zero financial gains. 24 hour shifts, where the expectation is that you are the everything. The clean-up committee, nursing staff, financial advisor, project manager, public relations, social organizer, boss, subordinate, psychologist, jail keeper, judge, chauffeur, administrative assistant, coach, cheerleader, and punching bag.
Zero money. But what you do get, is perspective, knowledge, lessons, a broken heart, pride, fear, elation, disappointment, exhaustion, broke, worried, and the ability to define love.
Mothers would never exchange the above for a paycheck. The little person who wakes in the middle of the night comforted only by you. The wave from the stage during a concert. The searching in the stands for your eye contact when they score a goal. The broken heart that needs your hug and words of wisdom. The phone call to say hi. It is priceless and worth every sleepless night, snotty nose, load of laundry, and sacrifice. It is being called 'Mom' by a person who is love.
So Moms, while you are busy wondering what happened to your body, why you have very little time to take care of you... Those people that call you Mom, know you are the most beautiful person in the world.
Happy Mother's Day
Stay Happy & Healthy
