Mother’s Day is tomorrow and though I’ve always known this is an important day, this year, I feel much more gratitude towards my parents, especially my mom on this special day. Not being a mom myself, I do have a quite a few friends who are mothers and I’ve seen them in action. I see their patience, kindness, and unconditional love towards their children. And I see all of this in my own mother and mother-in-law. Being a mother seems like a role that no one can fully describe, you have to experience it for yourself. A joy that can not be put into words. Someday I hope to be all these things and experience this joy, but for now, I am more than happy to spoil my mom and mother-in-law, and not just on this Sunday once a year, but to show my gratitude everyday I can.

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.” Psalm 139:13
