Celebrate These Mothers on Mother's Day

Mothers deserve to be celebrated, period.

The sacrifices they make on a daily basis to ensure we have what we need and want, shouldn’t be overlooked.

There are mothers who have sacrificed their own dreams in attempts to make sure their children’s wishes and dreams come true.

There are moms who walk around with less than to make sure their children have more than.

Moms who eat less so their children can eat more.

Moms who work overtime to make sure that their children are well taken care of.

Moms are the backbone of society, and these mothers deserve all the accolades that come with the celebration of a day like today.

There are plenty of successful people that have come from single mother homes (not saying that they don’t also come from dual parent households, because mothers play just as vital a role in those households as well):

Some of the most influential people in the world are on this list, and they were the products of women being in their lives, and raising them alone. Look at this list, and then reflect on the type of influences mothers have before disrespecting women. There are the fruit of the earth, and deserve to be revered.

Happy Mother’s Day!
