Making a difference: A thank you to our moms

Image

Mothers are the epitome of love, care, compassion, and sacrifice. Today we recognize those who have taught us right from wrong, who act with purpose, and who have made a difference in the lives of their children, their families, and their loved ones.

We are thankful for the numerous contributions made by our working moms. Those who are committed to making an impact in the lives of so many, inside and outside the workplace. We admire the hard work and dedication it takes to work while juggling all of the other roles you play…mentor, teacher, confidant, coach, friend, and so much more. 

Mothers represent everything that we value at Understood. They make an impact on their families through their never-ending love and support. They embrace the differences in their children and teach them how to embrace it too. They set the standard by showing us how to love and how to be loved by others. They act with purpose by always equipping us with the necessary tools to be successful in life. And lastly, they’re always willing to roll up their sleeves and make sacrifices in order for us to thrive together.

So today let’s thank our mothers, grandmothers, godmothers and mother figures for all they’ve done and continue to do. Thank them for being kind, caring, determined, and forgiving. Thank them for picking us up after we fall, for being a constant shoulder to cry on, for always knowing the right thing to say, and of course, for always providing unconditional love and support.

Don’t let today be the only day you say “Thank you” or “I appreciate you” or “I love you.” Make it a habit to tell them every chance you get because there’s no one else that deserves to hear it more.
