We Celebrate You

Sunday is the day that we celebrate 
motherhood.
Being a mother is every single day.
If your mother is still here, let her know
you appreciate her often.
It is the most challenging vocation in
the world.
But it's without a doubt the most reward-
ing honor, hands down.
It doesn't come with a manual, and I've 
made many mistakes.
But I've tried to learn from them and do 
better.
The one thing I've tried to do in this role
as a mother is show my kids that I love
them.
Because if I did everything else and had 
not give them love; everything else would
have been in vain.
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers
Grandmother's, God mother's, New mothers,
Single mothers and any one that has been a
mother figure, I'm talking to you.

A wonderful tribute to mothers Alexis. Though I sadly never became a mother there’s mother love in me and it’s something I hope the world can see… Belle
