As a young child, do you remember running up to your mother, with tears streaming down your face, after falling and scraping your leg? Of course, she enveloped you in a hug and made the pain dissipate immediately. Coming home from school after a challenging day, did you curl up into your mother's arms — consequently feeling invincible for the first time that day? Throughout our lives, motherly figures have helped us grow into who we are meant to be. Most people are lucky enough to have a strong motherly figure (i.e. a mother, aunt, grandmother, godmother) in their lives, helping to guide them and love them.
