To all the mothers, stepmothers, foster mothers, aunts, cousins, grandmothers, godmothers, and any other woman who plays a role in the life of a child, Happy Mother’s Day! You are your child’s first and best teacher. You worry about them day and night (forever), you model right and wrong, and your daily actions show unconditional love, patience, compassion and so many other qualities that your child will need to grow up as a kind human. I see you. I see your hard work and sacrifice. I see your doubt and stress. I see you engaged in every part of the life of your child. I see you as “super woman”. As an educator, I value, appreciate, and thank you. I hope you felt special today!
