You know the real meaning of celebrating a birthday if you remember the sacrifice of giving birth by your mother.
Mother sacrifices her dream to make my dream come true.
“I get a letter once a week from my mama. She say everything fine at home…
I write her back too, when I can, but what I’m gonna tell her that won’t start her bawling again? So I just say we is having a nice time and everybody treating us fine.”
“The women in my family are medicine. They are backbones and ribcages and hearts. They are whispers in men’s ears. They are the guardians that kept us whole.”
A Mother can take care of ten children. But sometimes ten children can’t take care of one Mother.
A mother’s arms are more comforting than anyone else’s.
A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity. It dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.
When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.
The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.
