For Mother’s day, a small expression of Mother’s peerless love through these quotes.

As Mother’s day approaches this Sunday, I am reminded how amazing moms are. As a father and a son, I am amazed by the patience and the sacrifice my mom and my wife has made for me and the kids. They do it with such a sweet smile and in my case, stern gaze. Being a parent has really made me appreciate my mom that much more and grateful for my wife and all that she does. 

Let’s let them know how much we love and appreciate them this week and not just for one day. 

Enjoy the quotes!
