May Is For Mothers

“To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power. Or the climbing, falling colors of a rainbow.” — Maya Angelou

May Is For Mothers

This is a response to I Am Unashamed Of Being Close To My Mom.

May is a month dedicated to celebrating the most important woman in our lives — our mothers. From the moment we are born, mothers are our protectors, nurturers, and our first teachers. They are the ones who love us unconditionally, and their unwavering support and guidance shape our lives in countless ways.

There is no denying that motherhood is one of the most challenging jobs in the world. Mothers are constantly juggling multiple responsibilities, from taking care of their children to managing their careers and households. They are often the glue that holds families together, sacrificing their own needs to ensure their children are healthy, happy, and well-adjusted.

Mothers play a vital role in shaping the lives of their children. They are the ones who instill important values such as kindness, empathy, and hard work. They teach us how to navigate life's challenges and encourage us to pursue our dreams. A mother's love and support are essential to a child's emotional and mental well-being, providing a sense of security and stability that is critical for healthy development.

As we grow older, our relationship with our mothers evolves. We become more independent, and our mothers become our friends and confidants. We turn to them for advice and guidance, knowing that their years of experience and wisdom can help us navigate life's challenges.

Despite the challenges that come with motherhood, mothers never stop giving. They are the ones who make us feel loved and supported, even when we are miles away. They are our constant cheerleaders, celebrating our successes and offering a shoulder to cry on when things don’t go as planned.

This May, let's take the time to honor and appreciate the mothers in our lives. Let's celebrate their sacrifices and thank them for all that they do. Whether it's through a heartfelt card, a phone call, or a special gift, let's show our mothers how much they mean to us. Let's take this opportunity to tell them that they are loved and appreciated, not just on Mother's Day, but every day of the year.

Mothers are truly the unsung heroes of our lives. They deserve all the love and appreciation we can give them, not just in May, but every day. So let's take this time to celebrate the remarkable women who have shaped our lives and continue to inspire us to be the best versions of ourselves.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).
