Moms, they are first person to greet us as we make our presence known to this world. From our first moment she holds us tight to her heart and gently breathes in the scent of us. Savoring each moment, we are in her embrace she sees a lifetime of love, laughter and heartache ahead of her. Mom is our cheerleader, our confidante, our safe place, the one who loves us through every stage of our life. In our youth, we just think of her as “Mom, it’s just what she does”, it isn’t until we are older or have children of our own that we see just how much she has done for us. This past week, I reached out to our upper school students and asked them to tell us what makes their mom so wonderful.

“Something about my mom is that she is very funny, she keeps me going every day and makes me laugh in rough times and just through the day when we do regular things. She is always there to help me and she stays by my side.

Her favorite verse is Jeremiah 29:11 and these are the things I love about my mom.” ~ Kathryn, 7th Grade
