Moms go to extraordinary lengths to lift us up, to guide us, and to help us thrive. After all, they brought us into the world. We’d be wise to remember how much they’ve given us and reach out in thanks.
However unwittingly, we often overlook the small kindnesses that our mothers bless us with on a regular basis — it’s easy to forget about the day-to-day sacrifices they make to ensure our happiness. For example, few of us remember what it was like to be a small child, but it’s not always easy for moms and dads who spend the day carting us around to school, doctors’ appointments, and play dates. Need proof? Ford recently launched a campaign — the ultimate driving test, if you will — that commends our moms for their patience and ability to multitask while hauling around a car full of children. (Spoiler alert: It’s really hard!)
The team at Cut Video invited women ages 5–50 to describe how they felt about the word “mother.” The video paints such an honest portrait of our relationships with our moms in all of their many shapes and forms. Even when we don’t get along with our mothers 100 percent of the time, this video shows that they have our best interests at heart. It’s a powerful ode to the many wonderful women in our lives.
SHARE this incredible testament to motherhood with the women in your life!
