mother (mo-ther) ˈmə-thər: noun,verb, adjective, transitive verb.
The word 'mother' can mean anything and everything. Because anything and everything is what mothers do. In fact, if families would thank a mother everytime they did something for them, that is all we would say, and never be able to get another word in at all. Maybe that is why mothers don't hear thank you enough. Mothers do the hardest and most thankless job there is. So thank you.
