Dear Mothers,

by Pierre Jeanty

Thank you for your existence.

Thank you for ushering life into this world.

Thank you for nurturing life once it arrived.

Thank you for sacrificing so much and asking for nothing in return.

I’ve heard many describe what a hero is and leave mothers out of the example, but I could never understand how.

Good mothers are miracles. They are one of the most authentic examples of “agape” love I have ever seen.

They are angels, and another way to see the goodness of God at work.

As we celebrate mothers in America tomorrow, I want to remind mothers that they ought to be celebrated every day.

I want to remind those with mothers to never forget all that they have done for you, despite whatever flaws they might have.

So Happy Mother’s Day to all you beautiful mothers!
