“Mother’s Day is a little tough for me because I lost my mom about a year and a half ago. For me, it means being surrounded by my family and my friends to support and recognize all mothers do because mothers do a lot. They’re the glue that holds our families together. For Mother’s Day, I think it’s that one day a year where we can honor the women that exemplify kindness, caring and love. On Mother’s Day, it’s just that one iconic day that you do everything in your power to, at least when my mom was alive, make sure that she’s helped, like there’s nobody else in the world more important to me than her.” —Sheri
“We give our mom a day of rest for doing everything that she’s done for us. And give her lots of hugs.” —Ari
“Mother’s Day means to me that we give our mom a special day where we give her lots of hugs and kisses and breakfast in bed.” —Abbi
