The author, when writing an explanation of an Instagram she posted of her mother cuddling her dog, realized she had more to say than she planned. Even after her children were adults, this mother still “mothers” her children by asking how they are feeling and showing incredible degrees of unselfishness. Despite this constant interest in her children, she never becomes nosy or “smothering.” The author ends this Mother’s Day tribute by stating that she would not be where she is today without her.

Key Takeaways:

• No matter how long her mother has been a mother, she never loses the mothering instinct.
• She doesn’t just feel appreciation for her mother but amazement because her mother is still very motherly.
• She is so thankful to her mother for always being there to be a mom and a role model.

“ll this to say, I strive to be even half the mother my mother is, every single day. And, in the dying light of Mother’s Day, I am compelled to express the fact that I’m ever so thankful to have her for a mom, a friend, a role model, a rock so steady no family or world crisis, however intense, can shift her off kilter.”
