Mothers complement their families and communities throughout the world.

Their smiles, hugs, butterfly kisses and empowering words create a memory that lingers for a lifetime. From the inside out, their hearts adorn their countenance.

Long after retiring from earth, life's storms are quelled with frequent remembrance of her fervent faith and prayers. Like a withering flower, their children and children's children thrive (prosper) from the continuous flow of TLC.

Mothers complement their children, family and community. They go beyond race, creed and color, always praying for another mother's child. The wellspring of any nation and the great old oak tree of the unique human forest they are. These noble women are courageous captains of their battleships, tossed about, wounded and worn out, but their revelation of self-worth lives on and on.

"In spite of, regardless of, and no matter what" mothers are eternally special! Their tears are streams of unconditional love and struggles, stairways to heaven. Mothers complement the universe.
