Mother’s Day is a special time to celebrate the incredible women who raised us with love, care, and sacrifice.
Every day, moms do amazing things that change our lives. Think about how your mom makes your favorite meal when you’re sad, or stays up late helping with homework.
Maybe she’s the one who taught you to ride a bike, or hugs you tight when things go wrong.
Moms come in all kinds: birth moms, stepmoms, grandmoms who raised us, aunts who stepped in as moms, and even mom-like friends who care for us like their own.
Some moms work long hours at the office, while others work hard at home. Some raise kids alone, and others share the job with a partner. Each one is special in her own way.
When you were little and scraped your knee, who kissed it better? When you got your first job, who was prouder than anyone else?
That’s why we celebrate Mother’s Day – to thank these wonderful women who shaped us into who we are today.
They give up their sleep, their time, and sometimes their dreams to make our dreams come true.
If you’re unsure what to say, this collection of Mother’s Day messages will help. From sweet and sentimental words to funny and lighthearted messages, you’ll find the perfect way to show appreciation for your mom, grandmother, wife, or any mother figure in your life.
