Unsung Laborers Day of Humanity

Unsung Laborers Day of Humanity! Hail to the unsung laborers who labor every day for a year, and at least up to eighteen more years! Hail to the unsung laborers who labor as they carry a child inside of their womb for a whole year! Hail the unsung laborers who have to deal with weird food cravings, crazy mood swings, nausea, morning sickness, exhaustion, and so much more! Hail to the unsung laborers who give birth to their child and/or children and almost die while giving birth! Hail to the unsung laborers who every day night hour minute love nurture care about and take care of teach challenge encourage support discipline protect feed water shelter instill in pay for school and sometimes even college, and so much more for their child, and/or children! Hail to the unsung laborers who give up all of their time and goals in order for their child and/or children to succeed, and even giving them all the attention that they need! Hail to the unsung laborers who wash, dry, fold, and put up unlimited piles of laundry, clean up mud stained bathtubs, read mountains of books, accompained bathroom visits, endless readings of nursey rhymes, knock knock jokes, endlessly hearing why, and so much more! Hail to the unsung laborers who are and were ancestral mothers, great great grand-mothers, great grand-mothers, grand-mothers, mothers, aunts, sisters, daughters, cousins, nieces, and wives, who do so much more than they ever get credit for!
