To mothers who have become mothers during confinement.

To mothers who have taken care of their mothers so that they would not lack anything.

To the mothers who have gone out into the streets to meet the needs of all.

To the mothers who have taken care of everyone with the same care as they take care of their children.

To the mothers who have made family life possible.

To mothers who have embraced new technologies so as not to lose contact with their children.

To the mothers who continued to work while feeding their children.

To the mothers who have cried in silence when all the lights in the house were turned off.

To the mothers who have been reunited with their children.

To the mothers who have discovered other ways of being mothers. 

To the mothers who have sung and danced to make the hands of the clock happy.

To mothers who have sacrificed hours of sleep to get to everything.

To mothers of flesh and blood.

To the mothers who are no longer there.

To all of them, THANK YOU.

Life without you would not be the same.
