Today is Mother's Day. But, everyday should be Mother's Day. We should always honor the moms out there who gave birth to us, fed us, changed our diapers, got us ready for school, pinned on a corsage, lied for you to a girl on the phone...oh, sorry, that last one slipped out.

You get the point. Moms have always been there for us, through all the skinned knees, performances, games, scout meetings, break-ups and countless other times, when, if you could count on one person to be there, it would be your mom.
How do they know to always be there? When you're young, you think because it's there job. You can't comprehend the scale on which things get done. You don't notice how the food gets on the table, but you notice when it's not on the table. You don't notice how clothes end up folded in your drawer, but you notice there's a pile of laundry in your hamper. You don't notice when the toys get picked up from the floor, but you always know right where to find them, neat and orderly. You don't understand how she drove everyone to a game, practice, concert, sleepover, skating rink, karate class or theme park, on-time and in a car that burned more fuel per mile than the space shuttle, but you got there.

There will come a time when your dad doesn't have to take you to the drug store to get a Mother's Day card for your mom. When that time comes, that's when you begin to realize, not just all mom did for you, but how she did it. It wasn't just because it was her job, it was because she loved you. Then, look back in amazement and give her a big hug! Happy Mother's Day, Mom.
