Mother's Day: The love we learn too late to fully understand
Mother's Day is celebrated with flowers, captions, church dedications, and photographs. Mothers have spent years pouring themselves until exhaustion became familiar. A mother's love expects weariness and still chooses devotion. Before we learned how to speak, she understood our cries. Before we understood disappointment, she absorbed it for us.
