Mother and Child

Mary Cassatt, Mother and Child, 1905

"Mother is the name for god in the lips and hearts of little children." -William Makepeace Thackeray

What is greater than a mother's love for her child? Knowing that no matter what you have done in your life, one person will not judge you but will instead take you in and comfort you until you have ended your last whimper, until you decide to take the next step and to move forward with your life. Not only is a mother there to push you, to show you your potential, to show you what your options are, but she's also  there for you in between your downfalls and your triumphs. She keeps you positive and what let the outside world sap  your spirit when you find something impossible.

Apart from the obvious difficulties of motherhood, beginning a few weeks after conception, a mother changes her life for another person. She changes from size 7 to 17, not only from hormonal changes and cravings, but from stressful junk food binges. Her nights are spent helping with homework before she completes her work. Her days are spent worrying about a helpless being instead of planning a vacation. Even if there was a second to plan this said much-needed vacation, where would the money come from? Here comes school, food, clothes, entertainment, activities, and the list will only go on. 

One woman to appreciate every day of every week is your mother.
