Happy Mother's Day

There is none like a Mother. She tends to her children. She sits and worries. She prays. She laughs and weeps. She trains and teaches. She provides comfort. She loves. She nurtures. She corrects. She is strong. She is an example. But she is still a human being, capable of making mistakes. We cannot fully appreciate her unless we are also a mother, for her heart is full of only that which a mother can understand.
