Mother's Are Irreplaceable
You see, a mother's space never closes. You could be the CEO of a company, but when you retire, there is someone waiting to take your place. You could win the Nobel Peace Prize, an Academy Award or a Grammy but after a couple years, no one will remember that you won. But a mother? A mother is never forgotten. After 35 years my mother is never forgotten.
What you do every single day may not win praise or awards, but it will always be remembered.
Motherhood is powerful
Through Your Child's Eyes
And if you need more proof of the power of your role, I want you to see yourself through the eyes of your child.
To your child you are a superhero - you can get the straw in the Caprisun without squirting juice all over yourself. You can even get those itty bitty flat Lego pieces apart. You are a super hero.
To your child, you are a rockstar - No other song soothes them at night like yours. And when you pick up your child from Sunday school, you have your Taylor Swift moment. You know what I'm talking about. That moment when they see you and their eyes light up. They scream your name and run to you with open arms. You are a rock star.
To your child, you are a supermodel - in your pony tail and your sweats there is no other woman in this world as beautiful as you. They have eyes only for you. You are a supermodel.
You're a mom, you're kind of a big deal.
So, the next time you have to fill out a form at the bank or doctor's office and you have to put something in that occupation box, I want you to write, "I'm a Mom - I'm kind of a big deal."
