One definition of "mother" is a woman who has conceived, given birth to, or raised a child in the role of a parent. However, due to the complexity and differences of a mother's social, cultural, and religious definitions and roles, it is challenging to define a mother to suit a universally accepted definition.
I am the incredibly proud mother of two beautiful boys, who are now actually men. It is an incredible gift to me to look at them now and see that they are both loving, thoughtful people. Raising a child is the hardest job I have ever had (and I have had a lot of jobs!). You worry about everything from the time they are born and then one day, you realize your job is over. You never stop loving and supporting them. However, I hope I am giving each of them a gift by letting them lead their own lives and make their own decisions. My journey of motherhood would have been much more difficult without the encouragement, love, support, time, dedication and prayers from many wonderful people and I thank each and everyone of you!
Happy Mother's Day!
