Let’s be honest if motherhood were a sport, it would be an Olympic event. Early mornings, late nights, endless questions (“Where’s my sock?” “Why is the sky blue?”), and superhuman multitasking skills? That’s just a warm-up.
As Mother’s Day rolls around, we don’t just want to hand over flowers and breakfast in bed. We want to salute every woman who has ever worn the invisible cape of motherhood biological moms, stepmoms, aunties who stepped in, grandmothers who raised generations, and even neighbours who’ve “mothered” half the block. https://joyfullythriving.com/gifts-mom-really-wants/
Superpower #1: Mind-Reading (A.K.A. She Just Knows)
Mothers have a sixth sense. You didn’t call her all week? She just knew something was off. You tried to sneak an extra cookie? She caught your mid-crunch. There’s no hiding because moms read minds and moods like seasoned psychologists.
Superpower #2: Magic Healing Touch
Remember when a kiss from mom could fix a scraped knee? That power never really fades. Whether you’re 6 or 36, mom’s words have this uncanny ability to make things better. It’s science… well, emotional science.
Superpower #3: The Multitasking Queen
While making breakfast, she’s also packing your lunch, feeding the baby, solving a math problem, and reminding you where your forgotten shoes are. Honestly, we’re not sure how she does it, but we suspect she might secretly be part machine.
Superpower #4: Memory Bank Extraordinaire
Your mom remembers your allergies, your favorite meal, your childhood friends’ names, and that embarrassing thing you did in 2003 but she won’t bring it up (unless she needs leverage). That’s true restraint.
Superpower #5: Endless Love (Like, Endless-Endless)
She may get tired, frustrated, or even say “I’ve had enough!” But five minutes later? She’s tucking you in, checking your forehead, or sending that “just checking on you” text. Her love? Unmatched. Her loyalty? Fierce. Her patience? Borderline saintly. https://winniespurehealth.co.ke/2025/01/cervical-cancer-a-fight-we-can-win/
Celebrate Her Today and Every Day
On this Mother’s Day, let’s go beyond the clichés. Write her a heartfelt note. Call her without rushing the conversation. Surprise her with something personal (like that tea she likes or a playlist of her favorite songs). Or better yet do the dishes without being asked.
Because here’s the thing mothers don’t ask for much. But they give so much. And today? It’s our turn to give a little love right back.
To all the mamas out there: We see you. We thank you. We celebrate you.
