Today, we celebrate mothers across the globe. We thank you for the sacrifices you’ve made throughout our lives, beginning with those brutal nine months you cradled us in your womb. (sorry for those terrible 2's. Oh, and the teenage years as well.) We can't thank you enough for the times when you advocated for us in the Principal's office, even though you knew for a fact, we actually did what they said we did. You were our first ride-or-die.

"When I was sick as a little kid
To keep me happy there's no limit to the things you did
And all my childhood memories
Are full of all the sweet things you did for me
And even though I act crazy
I gotta thank the Lord that you made me
There are no words that can express how I feel
You never kept a secret, always stayed real
And I appreciate how you raised me
And all the extra love that you gave me
I wish I could take the pain away
If you can make it through the night, there's a brighter day
Everything will be alright if you hold on
It's a struggle every day, gotta roll on
And there's no way I can pay you back
But my plan is to show you that I understand
You are appreciated
Lady, don't you know we love you? (Dear Mama)
Sweet lady, place no one above you (you are appreciated)
Sweet lady, don't you know we love you? (Dear Mama)"
