"Mama, hold my hand"

Aloe Blacc-Mama Hold My Hand

I'm dedicating this to all of the mothers out there. Thank you to the mothers who raise upstanding citizens, and driven individuals. Thank you to the women who give their love to their children, unconditionally. Thank you for instilling within us, good morals and values. Thank you for the emotional, mental, (and sometimes financial) support. Thank you for being a soundboard when we needed to vent about something or someone. Thank you for knowing there were underlying factors when we would lash out at you, when angered by something else. Thank you for reading to us every night, as you have strengthened our love for reading and education. Thank you for always believing in us, and letting us know that we are truly capable of doing ANYTHING, if we put our minds to it; and build our skills within our chosen paths. Thank you for celebrating our small achievements, but blowing them up as if we'd won a Nobel Peace Prize. Thank you for recognizing our great accomplishments, and nursing/comforting us through great losses and utter defeat.
Your love and confidence within us, helps us walk taller, heads higher, backs straighter, hearts bigger. To all of you beautiful mothers out there, enjoy your special day. May your families celebrate and appreciate you every day of the year, and not just on one Sunday in May.
