Mother’s Day was celebrated on Sunday, May 8, and we hope that everyone did a little something special for their mothers (or for whoever takes on the role of the mother, such as step-mother, grandmother or aunt). Maybe you made Mom breakfast or a Mother’s Day card, or simply said “thank you” to her for all the work she does. There’s no one quite like Mom.
We’ve gathered some sweet quotes about how special Moms are:
