Mother’s Day is for every mother 2019
- 6 May 2019
“A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take.”Cardinal Meymillod
Everyone has a mother. It is one of the things that unifies us all. A commonality. We were born into this world by our mother.
Mother’s Day can be challenging for some. Some mothers are no longer with us and it can make the day more reflective than celebratory. But we come back to this fact, everyone has a mother. Wherever they are.
This Mother’s Day, let’s celebrate all the mothers. Whether they are our own or someone you know. Saying “Happy Mother’s Day” on this one special day of the year will give you both so much joy.
So to all of the mothers out there, we say thank you for the tireless role that you so effortlessly play. It doesn’t go unnoticed and today is your day. Whoever you are, wherever you are – Happy Mother’s Day.
“Mother’s love is peace. It need not be acquired, it need not be deserved.”
Erich Fromm
