If you ask me, selfless and mom are interchangeable.  I am forever grateful for those women in my life that have in some way "mothered" me.  For without them, I am sure there would have been many sad, lonely moments in my life.  Leaders, teachers, bosses, friends, and even more importantly my grandmas, aunts, friends and my mother-in-law.  Inspiring women really do make life so much more enjoyable.  But I don't know where I'd be without my mom, my constant.  My prayer is that everyone knows what it is like to at some point feel such an overwhelming love.  My mom has truly taught me what it means to love unconditionally and to love with all your heart.

Happy Mother's Day to all women for they all have mothered in one way or another.  Never underestimate the impact you may have had on someone even through the smallest act.
