Mothers are not often praised.
They care for us when we are sick.
They nourish us by giving us food.
They teach us how to take care of ourselves so that we can grow up and move away.
They worry about us when we are not there.
They worry about us when we leave the nest to lead a life of our own.
Let's not also forget the mothers who have no help doing any of this.
The ones who have to nurture as well as provide.
The ones who have to be the mother and the father.
Let us remember that mothers are not often praised.
And let's praise them.
