A Mother...

Warrior Mom
A Mother comes to your rescue when you're overwhelmed....expresses interest in the unfolding of your day....offers comfort when you feel defeated....listens to you ramble in self-doubt without judgement....believes in your potential....serves as your punching bag when you're distressed....provides unconditional support....will always be your biggest fan....accepts you just the way you are....candidly reminds you that you weren't an easy child either....shows compassion when you're a mess....encourages you to rest....is dependable when you're in the trenches...ends every phone call with 'I love you'. Though I often take my Mom for granted, that's not the case today. Thich Nhat Hanh said, "When you love someone, the best thing you can offer is your presence. How can you love if you are not there?". Praise the people in your life who show up for the cheers and the tears.
