To my mom:
For being my MOTHER all the times I needed you to be and my FRIEND when you knew I could handle things on my own—thank you. For teaching me to be POWERFUL. To be CREATIVE. To be KIND. Thank you. And for instilling in me the fact that it is okay to share your LOVE with a hug, a kiss, or an “I love you” when we say goodbye, I just can’t thank you enough. You are an amazing woman and I am proud to be your daughter.
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
To my step-mom:
Thank you for showing me what an impact a simple gesture can often have on someone. Thank you for always treating me with respect—especially through some of my lovely teen years. And thank you for never trying to replace my mom. For this and much more, you are loved.
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
To my mother-in-law:
I know you don’t have the internet and will most likely never know that this exists but I can’t write a Mother’s Day tribute without including you. My message is simple—thank you for liking me so much. You are a hard woman to impress and you love me. I know you do by the way we talk. And this makes me feel special. Like a beloved member of the family. That makes me happy.
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
To my son:
Thank you, thank you, thank you a million times over for making me a mother. It has been the most amazing title I have held and I’m honored to be the mom of a sweet soul like you. Becoming a mother has opened my heart and increased my understanding of love in ways I never knew possible. I owe it all to you.
To all the mothers out there:
A nod to you and all the work you do. Being a mom isn’t always easy but it sure is worth it.
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
This is so perfect and from the heart, which is totally you! It’s amazing mothers like you that make me hope I can one day be even half the mother you are with my own future children. Happy Mother’s Day!

Thanks Amber! Happy Mother’s Day to you too. And you know exactly what I mean about your mom. She doesn’t just accept anybody into her life. But me? She likes me for some reason. Probably my cooking.

Happy Mother’s Day to you!
This is a great idea for a post. I never sat down and thought about all the things that ALL of my mothers have contributed to my own experience of being a mother. Whether I post about it today or not, I’ll definitely be thinking about it!

Before I became a mother I would say “I hope I can mother my children the same way my mom raised me.” Glad to know I’m doing a good job. Love you bunch.
