Eternal Maternal Wisdom

We are always bonded to our Mothers. 

 A Mother is not just the woman who gave birth to us. She is the parent who raises us, teaches us right from wrong and tells us that everything is going to be ok. She is the one who loves us before we can even know what love is. 

But it’s not really just a biological imperative. Maternal love is unconditional. And sometimes the Mother that raises us isn’t the woman that bore us. Adopted Moms, step-mothers and families with two Moms can truly amplify the blessing of a mother’s love.

 It’s true that even death doesn’t end the bond between a mother and a child. People in your life may come and go, but a Mother is forever. 

It seems like we don’t always take time to let our Mom’s know how grateful we are for them.It can be difficult to find the perfect words to express the inspiration and admiration we have for them. We may even take it for granted. It is the most complex yet simplest relationship of our lives. 

It’s true that even death doesn’t end the bond between a mother and a child. People in your life may come and go, but a Mother is forever. 

Here are 15 quotations that express that love.
