Mother's Day tribute

This day can be full of so many mixed emotions. Thinking about a mother who is no longer with us, or struggling with one who still is. Wishing we were a better mother, or maybe just a mother at all.
I want to salute all women today who are nurturers and life givers - whether they have children or not. Here's to you who speak words of encouragement to those around you, feeding and watering our souls. Here's to you who do acts of kindness, breaking up the clods and barriers that inhibit our growth. Here's to you who diligently tend to our daily needs and let us bloom!
