Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate the extraordinary women who have made a profound impact on our lives. For many of us, the term ‘mother’ may suggest a specific image – a biological mother or a mother who has been present in our lives from birth. But the reality is that motherhood comes in many different forms, and there are countless ways to be a loving, nurturing, and supportive parent. From single moms to same-sex couples, from transgender mothers to dads who play the role of ‘mom,’ the diversity of motherhood is something to be celebrated and cherished. It is important to recognize that the love, care, and sacrifice that come with being a parent transcend biology, gender, and family structure.
