Mother's Day

“As a mother myself, my appreciation for what the lifetime job of being a mother entails is profound. What our mothers do for us starts before we are even fully formed….I find as I get older that I never stop needing my mother.” - IFWE

“I read of a letter that a husband reportedly wrote to his wife. She had left him and their son after a fight, and two days later he wrote her this letter” - James Emery White

“…my mom said people are more likely to listen to those who don’t talk all the time. Because she didn’t, I have lessons from her I’ll never forget.” - BPNews

“Not always, but often, very often, I will hear someone in their last moments move from talking about various loved ones to crying out for a mother. And, like this article notes, the call is usually with a name of familiarity, of ‘Mama’ or ‘Mommy.’” - Russel Moore

“[F]or many women who have had abortions, Mother’s Day is one of the biggest triggers of painful memories, regrets, and remorse over what ‘might have been.’” Rebecca Hagelin
