First of all, Happy Mothers Day to all you amazing mommies out there! (even though its almost over considering it's 9:38 p.m. as I write this...) Anyway, I hope you all had a day that's as wonderful as you are. This blog has been on my heart for a while now and I was saving it specially for today. I come from a long line of strong women on both sides of my family. My great grandmothers (one of which I am named after) on both sides were very strong women, even though I don't remember much about either of them, I get the joy of hearing stories about them and let me say, these women are powerful. Next there is my Grandmothers (Hi Nanny and Nana!) who have been through hell and back and came out on top, stronger than ever, then passed their strength, grace and dignity down to their children and then on to me. Then there is my mother. My mom is a one tough lady. She is a fighter and she gives her all when it comes to those she loves, especially my brother and I. She is strong willed, resilient, and when life kicks her, she kicks back harder. She is loving and selfless and has a sturdy helping hand and caring persona. She stands strong and protective like a fortress that no one can knock down, and she doesn't let anyone push her around or belittle her or make her feel small, fragile and weak like women tend to get stereotyped as. I'm so very thankful for her and everything she has done for me and the older I get, the more I appreciate her. We are two totally different people. We tend to clash sometimes and we don't always have the same views, but I know she will always have my back and love me unconditionally, as will I to her. I am proud to say that I am strong because of her. She raised me to be independent and strong and I would not be who I am without her influence. So like-mother-like-daughter, when life kicks me, I will kick back harder. I love you, Mom. Thank you isn't enough but it will have to do because even the English language has limits, so thank you. To all you mothers out there who are raising girls especially, raise them to be strong. I promise it will be the best thing you can do for them. I would like to wish a Happy Mothers Day to the mothers who have lost a child either before or after they were born, and to the mothers who are struggling to become a mother in the physical sense, as well as to the mothers that may not be biologically connected to their children,whether that be adoption, guardianship or just taking a kid under your wing when they needed someone to take care of them. You are all still mothers and just know that you are all amazing and loved. Keep being powerful you beautiful mommies! You are appreciated! With love,
