Every Day is Mother’s Day

Photo by Mitch Teemley

Happy Mother’s Day!

And remember, every day is Mother’s Day. I took this photo of my wife Trudy and our recently-born first child when Trudy was exhausted. And yet all I see is her bottomless, heart-melting love, a love that has no end.

“Call your mother. Tell her you love her. Remember, you’re the only person who knows what her heart sounds like from the inside.” ~Rachel Wolchin

Note: If your relationship with your mother is complicated, or if her own issues caused her to fail, you’re not alone. But your heart still beat within her once. So, if you can, call her.

    Happy Mother’s Day to Trudy and thank you so much for the reminder that every day is Mother’s Day. I was blessed to have a mother and a Grandmother who reflected God’s love every day. They’re gone now but remembered every day.

  12. That’s a wonderful image of Trudy and your daughter. It’s perfect for Mother’s Day. I remember the exhaustion etched all over her face. One little tiny smile wipes away the fatigue. Happy Mother’s Day to Trudy! 🙂

  16. There’s nothing like a mother’s love. Loss my parents at an early age. Still misses them daily, perhaps because of the lessons taught, I’ll never forget.
    All the best to you and your spouse. 🙂
