Happy Mother's Day

Every mom is a superhero. Whether this is your first Mother's Day or your fiftieth, we salute you. You've made more sacrifices than you can count, sometimes put your life and dreams on hold, and you'd do it all over again. You've stayed up until the wee hours with a sick baby and then gone to work (either to an older boss or to a tiny and demanding one) without sleep or complaint. 

Between pregnancy and breastfeeding, you've sacrificed your body more than anyone (besides other moms) could understand. Your boobs may not be what they once were, but your heart has somehow doubled in size.

You've mastered the art of sleeping upright with a baby in your arms and your favorite radio stations have been replaced with Veggie Tales tunes. You've come to enjoy Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Sofia the First and sometimes even look forward to them.

You've chased a bare butt baby around with a diaper in one hand and an unused wipe in the other. You make up ridiculous songs just to make your child smile and perform dance moves worse than those of Seinfeld's Elaine.

Mom, you do so many little things throughout the day that go unnoticed and sometimes we forget to stop and say thanks. Luckily, we have a holiday to remind ourselves that it's important to take a minute and appreciate you.

You're amazing. You're beautiful. You're strong. You're passionate. You would never lift a hand in anger to anyone, but if someone messes with your kid, you turn into the Incredible Hulk. 

We admire you. We strive to be like you. We love you. Thank you for being there always and for loving us so unconditionally.

Please remember to say thank you to all of the wonderful moms in your lives; not just today, but always. Happy Mother's Day.
