There’s nothing we can really say here to capture the appreciation we have for all of the mothers today, but we’ll give it a try.

In lieu of a poem or cheesy meme, just know that we’re thinking of all the hard work moms do to keep their families happy and safe. Cheers to you, mom, who’s now also a part-time teacher and all-star employee by day, and house cleaner, chef, and landscaper by weekend.

To the mom who is a nurse, medic, or doctor.

To the mom who is doing this all over again as a grandmother.

To the mom who is trying to also motivate 120 high school students.

To the single mom who is doing this all alone.

To the mom who is watching her own kids plus all the neighborhood kids.

To the newly unemployed worried mom with an unemployed husband.

To the nursing mom with other kids running around the house.

To the entrepreneur mom worried about her business.

To the pregnant mom trying to put together a baby room on a small budget.

To the mom who’s experienced loss, but is still trying to become a mom.

To the empty-nester mom whose kids just moved back home.

To the mom who’s done so much school work, but who might not get to see her kid walk across the graduation stage this year.

To the mom trying to plan a birthday party.

To the mom with sons and daughters overseas.

To the baseball, soccer, football, hockey, gymnastics (and more) moms.

To the moms who are mourning the loss of a child. Once a mom, always a mom. Special love to you today.

There’s so much work and sacrifice moms make just for one smile. Listing it all here is impossible, but know that we see you. And we appreciate you.

Happy Mother’s Day! We love you!
