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.
Many mothers are breaking in places nobody notices because the world has taught them to continue functioning no matter how heavy life becomes. Society celebrates mothers for being "strong," but rarely asks what constant strength costs the human heart. Motherhood is sometimes survival wrapped in love. Love often becomes invisible when it is too consistent.
