To the Moms of the World,
On the day set aside to honor you, words feel small beside the vastness of your love. Still, let us try.
You are the heartbeat of the world, soft and strong, steady and unwavering. From the quiet hush of bedtime lullabies to the fierce roar that rises when your children are in need, your love is a force of nature, a sanctuary, and a lighthouse through every storm.
You have given more than the world will ever see: sleepless nights traded for comfort, dreams deferred so others could chase their own, worry held close so others could be carefree. Your touch carries wisdom, your voice brings peace, and your arms are the first place anyone ever felt at home.
You love in a thousand unspoken ways, the lunch packed, the tear wiped, the encouraging word whispered when all seemed lost. You are the memory keeper, the tradition bearer, the unshakable foundation of family.
We see you. We see the strength it takes to smile through exhaustion, the courage it takes to let go when your heart wants to hold on, the patience it takes to lead with grace. Whether you are a mother by birth, by choice, or by circumstance, whether your children are in your arms, across the miles, or carried forever in your heart, you are a sacred part of what makes this world good.
Today, and every day, we honor you. We thank you. We love you more than words can hold.
Happy Mother’s Day, with all the gratitude in our hearts.
Forever yours,
The Grateful Children of the World
