Mother's Day Reflections - 10 Quotes to Inspire You

A mother's responsibilities go round the clock, 24/7, 365 days a year, no breaks, no vacation. There may be what one may want to perceive as a physical break, nevertheless, the mother's brain doesn't shut down from functioning as ... well, as a mother. Her thoughts incline toward maternal plans and decisions, even without her conscious participation. With all the admirable qualities a mother possesses, it took one woman organizing a memorial ceremony to honour her mother for the world to wake up to the idea of celebrating mothers. Thank you, Anna Maria

So, you've got the gift or card to honour mom with this Mother’s Day, and you're yet wondering what words to use to personalize it? Let these quotes shove you a little to think and pull from
your heart what to say to Mama.
