Recognition and thanks goes out to all of you wonderful ladies in Bridgewater and beyond who have chosen such a noble profession.
Few people call it that, because motherhood doesn’t always fit in with the temper of the times which links success with the amount of bucks accumulated, let alone recognizes this endeavor as a job onto itself.
Nonetheless, the hand that rocks the cradle is truly the one that rules the world, despite any claims to the contrary. There are only a couple of professions in life which demand such a lifelong commitment of time, energy, and love. Yet there are few which can be so absolutely and frustratingly demanding, despite the dignity of it all.
It gets even harder when some of you, through economics, are forced to also take a paying job in business, government or the other professions. Yet, somehow, you make it all come together.
Many of you who get to be “stay-at-home” moms – such a misnomer of that responsibility – are also fully engaged in community work which deserves pay, but which you undertake freely for the sheer love of humanity.
You are young moms, middle-aged moms, old moms, married moms and single moms – some of you still learning how to deal with the challenge of raising children the right way.
Others of you, with the passage of time and the wisdom of age, have come to the point where you are enjoying your own kids and your grandkids – all of it a true gift from above.
Don’t let anyone cheat you out of that life.
