Celebrating Mother’s Day: Honoring All Who Mother

Mother’s Day is more than a date on the calendar; it’s a moment to pause and celebrate the fierce love, quiet strength, and tireless care that mothers and mother figures bring into our lives every single day.

While we traditionally honour biological mothers on this day, it’s just as important to recognise all those who fulfil the role of "mother" in someone’s life. Stepmoms, grandmothers, foster moms, aunts, sisters, teachers, mentors, and chosen family all deserve a special place in this celebration. Anyone who has offered a listening ear, a guiding hand, a warm hug, or unconditional love has stepped into this beautiful, life-shaping role.

Motherhood isn’t defined by biology; it’s defined by presence. It’s late-night check-ins, pep talks before big moments, sacrifices made without a second thought, and the everyday magic of simply being there.

So today, whether you’re celebrating your own mom, remembering a mother who's passed, or thanking someone who has loved you like one, take a moment to acknowledge that kind of love. Say thank you. Write a note. Share a memory. Or just hold someone a little tighter.

Happy Mother’s Day to all who Mother—you are seen, you are loved, and you are appreciated ❤️
