Mom. She’s our confidant, our best friend, a boo-boo kisser, an advice giver, and so much more. And although we love and appreciate her, we don’t always give her the credit she deserves, and moms, they deserve a lot of credit. After all, they are the ones who made us, us.

So this Mother’s Day, show her how much you care. Celebrate your special mom, or the motherly figure in your life, with these 25 quotes that express the beauty and magic of motherhood.
