Let’s be clear: in my view, every day is Mother’s Day. As any mother or soon-to-be mom knows, each day truly embodies the spirit of motherhood. It’s not about the hastily crafted cards, the freshly picked flowers, or even the boxes of chocolates from the local store. It’s not even about the breakfast in bed that’s usually a chaotic mix of burnt pancakes and sticky hugs. It’s about the daily experience of being a mom.
Regardless of whether you’re a first-time parent, have already welcomed multiple children, are pregnant, or are an adoptive mother, the essence of motherhood transcends your individual circumstances. Whether you’re living in South Sudan or South Carolina, or serving overseas in the military, being a mom is a fundamental part of who you are. It shapes your perspectives, influences your values, and defines the way you love and care for those around you.
I’ve been a mother for many years now, and I’ve dedicated a significant part of my life to supporting fellow moms—a mission I could only undertake because of my own experiences as a mother. It’s a truth that resonates throughout the community: it takes a mom to truly understand a mom.
In the past couple of weeks, I found myself at an event in Nashville, connecting with passionate individuals about maternal health. Such moments remind me that the celebration of motherhood is not confined to a single day.
