In every corner of the world, there is a force so powerful, so profound, that it shapes the very fabric of our existence. This force is none other than the boundless love and unwavering dedication of mothers.

Today, in Portugal, we celebrate Mother’s Day! And as both a mother and a daughter and daughter-in-law, I couldn’t go on with my day without writing a few words about it!

From the moment of our conception, mothers embody a love that is unconditional, selfless, and eternal. They sacrifice their time, energy, and often their own needs to ensure our well-being and happiness. Their love knows no bounds, extending beyond words and actions to encompass the very essence of our being.

Mother’s Day is a celebration of the heart of the home: the mother. She is the anchor that holds the family together, the warmth and comfort in times of need, and the guiding light illuminating our path. Her presence brings solace, her wisdom brings guidance, and her love brings joy. Whether she is biological, adoptive, or a maternal figure who has stepped into our lives, her influence is profound and everlasting.

Mother’s Day extends is about honoring all women who have played a maternal role in our lives: grandmothers, aunts, sisters, and mentors. These women may not have given birth to us, but they have nurtured, supported, and loved us as fiercely as any mother could. Their impact is immeasurable, and Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to express our gratitude for their love and guidance.

Mother’s Day is a time for celebration! We celebrate compassion, resilience, and strength — qualities of mothers around the world. Regardless of cultural or societal differences, mothers share a common bond rooted in love and devotion. They inspire us with their courage, uplift us with their kindness, and empower us with their unwavering belief in our potential. They (literally) made us who we are! And that is more than enough motive for celebration.

In a world that often seems chaotic and uncertain, the love of a mother remains a constant source of comfort and stability. Her presence is a beacon of hope, guiding us through life’s challenges and triumphs with grace and resilience. On Mother’s Day, we have the opportunity to express our gratitude for this unwavering love and to celebrate the remarkable women who enrich our lives in countless ways.

As we celebrate Mother’s Day, let us take a moment to pause and reflect on the profound significance of this special day. And let us strive to honor and cherish mothers not only on this day but every day, recognizing the invaluable role they play in our lives and in the world.
