By most dictionaries Mother means someone who gives birth, but I believe there is more to being a mother. A Mother is someone who loves you, who nourishes, disciplines, nurtures, educates, encourages, and gives unconditional love. She is selfless, sacrifices, and protects. She is wisdom, she is a listener, and a giver.
A Mother is not always one who gives birth to you, she may be the one who chose to raise you through adoption or fostering. She could be someone you look up to and helps talk you through the hard times.
As a single mother, myself, I know that a mother can also be a coach, a father, and a friend. A Mother goes through a lot of pain and fear for their children and they say a lot of prayers to keep their children safe. A Mother also has to let go, and let their children grow up and learn things on their own when they get to the right age. As painful as it can be watching your children grow up, a Mother has pride and joy in the accomplishments of their children.
Mothers often second guess themselves and wonder if they did right by their kids. When we see our teachings show through our children it can overwhelm our hearts, after all we did do something right!
Even though we should appreciate and celebrate our mothers daily, one day a year has been put aside to show our mothers how much we are grateful for what they have sacrificed and taught us.
In celebration of Mothers' Day on Sunday May 8, 2016 we are having a giveaway. This rose and Cubic Zirconia heart ring will help us remember the beauty of our mothers and the heart they willingly gave to us through their love and kindness. This ring comes in a choice of:
1: White gold plated with blue heart in size 7 or 8
2: Rose gold plated with red heart in sizes 7 or 8
3: 24k gold plated with red heart in sizes 7 or 8
There will be three winners. The giveaway will go from April 28th to May 4, 2016 @ midnight MDT. Prizes will be shipped priority so that you can receive your ring by Mothers' Day. The ring will be shipped with a heart ring box and organza bag. Enter and share!
