The world of yes

"On this day, we honor the mothers! Every woman who carried a child in her body, nursed it at her bosom, cleaned its bottom. Taught them manners, taught them to read and count. Kissed hurt knees and hugged away bad dreams. Took too many pictures, cooked too many meals. Your work is powerful and priceless! Thanks to all the moms

I've always found this holiday to be exclusive and limiting. I like this take better.

They all deserve recognition. I hate that I don't really get recognition as a "mother," even though I'm not - since my sister needs care since she can't live on her own. She doesn't understand money and social cues. It can get difficult, but, I'm just the older sister . . .

Awesome! Mothering isn't a job reserved just for those who carried a child.
