I have an important message for you.

It may come as a surprise, because this message is not repeated nearly often enough. Are you ready?

You are greatly admired. It’s worth repeating. You are greatly admired.

And not just by your family—by others, too. Some of your admirers are close acquaintances, others are strangers, but they all hold you in high regard. Why? Because you are a mother through and through. . . .

Because you are totally in love with your family and are thoroughly prepared to show your love by giving all, asking little, and accepting less. . . .

You may do many other things in your life on earth that will be productive and meaningful, but none will be as admired as being the beautiful mother you are. —Excerpt from Hugs for Mom
