It is hard to dispute the fact that mothers work harder than anyone else on this planet. It's a 24/7 job. Weekends aren't a break, they are often more work than the weekdays. If you take the time to pay attention to what mothers do, you'll find yourself in awe of their sheer stamina and energy.

They work, they give, they serve, they get up early and go to bed late, day in and day out, rarely getting a day off. I believe that the respect we give to academics and scholars and the roaring applause we give to athletes, musicians, and movie stars is the type of respect and reception heaven gives to mothers.
