Every mother’s life-puzzle is unique. Some are stay-at-home moms; some have public jobs; all work hard. While we still don’t honor motherhood’s importance in public policy or all workplaces (or in how some view mothers), society is slowly giving more than lip service to parenting. And we moms are, I hope, encouraging instead of judging one another.
I’ve been a writer nearly my whole life (writing my first “book” in kindergarden) and a mother for seven-and-a-half years. Both are who I am, not merely something I do. The two co-exist and overlap among life’s other pieces (and like many moms, my lifestyle is “managed disequilibrium”; balance is unsustainable).
I honor and appreciate my mother (and daddy—and all parents!) more since having a child. I hope you honor, love, and support the moms in your life on Mother’s Day and every day. Do so in words and deeds. We’re all family, and when we lift one another, we find our own burdens become lighter.
