I have never been so excited to put a Mother's Day card in the mail. Being away from home has given me a new found appreciation for my mother. I am not talking about the fact that she does laundry and makes meals (though that is much appreciated). I am talking about appreciation for the nurturing spirit that every mother seems to have. It is difficult to match the kind of unconditional love a mother has for a child. This love spans through all stages of life including infancy, childhood, adolescence, teenager years, young adulthood, and middle aged adulthood. During each stage of life, they adopt different roles: caretaker, provider, protector, advisor, and friend to name a few. I think understanding of this love is best seen in children since they don't have the weight of the world distracting them from how awesome their mothers are. This video shows it well.
These children love their mothers. They mention a lot of things their mothers do for them, but I believe they recognize the love of their mothers shining through these actions. Mothers show love to their children in the way they spend time with them. Thanks for all you do Moms!
