Some mothers never told us how strong they were. They simply showed us, every single day.
If you were raised by one, you probably do not give up easily. When life gets hard, you get to work. Maybe you even start cleaning when you are stressed, exactly the way she did.
You can open a nearly empty fridge and still put dinner on the table. You save bags, jars and containers because "you never know." And when you have to make a big decision, you can still hear her voice in your head.
You are often the one other people lean on. And you show love the way she did, by showing up with soup, a ride or a helping hand, even when the words do not come easily.
Strong mothers do not always have easy lives. Many of them became strong because they had no other choice.
Call her today if you still can. Thank her for one hard thing she did for you. Pass one of her lessons on to someone younger.
The strongest women often raise children who never forget where their strength came from.
