A mother does not need a cape to be considered a superhero. They are the ones who find it their responsibility to provide for their children. They simply want the best for their kids without asking for anything in return. They have taken care of you and raised you since day one- they are actually your "day ones." Our mothers are most of the time a family rock, bending over backwards to support the family, loving you no matter what, and often we do not always say thank you and have it not be for a favor. So take a minute out of your day, and every single day, to thank them for the greatest gift they have given you: their time- a portion of their own life they gave up for you and will never get back. If you need some suggestions, here is a list of only SOME of the many reasons you should be thankful for your mothers.
