Children are a parent’s greatest blessing.  It is true that they vary on a grand scale whether it be their size, shape or capabilities.  But at the end of the day, they are still children and we love them very much.  So in honor of moms, we took it upon ourselves this year to summarize what any child, regardless of capability, might say this year on Mother’s Day.

Dear Mom,
I wanted to write you a quick letter today to let you know how much you mean to me. I don’t fully understand the pain you went through to have me. Perhaps one day I’ll get a better grasp of that. You helped “bring me into the world.” (You love to remind me of that if I do something wrong.) And for bringing me into this world I will always be thankful, even on those days I might not really show it. You bathe me, clothe me and take care of me when others would have given up a long time ago. You are my friend, always there to talk to me and sometimes the only one who really understands me. You are my advocate as well - standing up for me when I may not be able to do so or have no voice to talk myself. And you never lose faith in me. I am always amazed at you. No matter the difficulty you and I might face, you continue to rise to the challenge every day for me. We have our good days and our bad days - who doesn’t, right?
If I looked up “mother” in the dictionary, I would have to think patience is part of your description. You always expect more of me and push me to do my best. But at the same time you are patient with me, allowing me to get things done as I am able to. That always means a lot - both pushing me and also waiting for me. There are so many other things you do. But best of all, you always show your love for me by holding my hand, kissing my forehead or just simply being by your side.
Thanks Mom - you are the greatest.

And to Moms all across the world this weekend - Happy Mother’s Day!  Whether a grateful child or a loving parent, please tell us in our comment section a fun story or comment about your mom.
