“I wake up in the morning and she is there. She is there as I close my eyes at night. Her presence is a comfort; a beacon; a rock I cling to when I am afraid. She is my champion; my inspiration; my guide. A mother’s love is unselfish, kind. A mother’s love is wise, full-hearted, the deepest well. And though she did not give me birth, she loves me as a mother would.” – Excerpt from Sara Stanley’s essay for Mother of the Year.
