 WHO HELPED RAISE YOU 

It's not just moms. (Dads, we see you too.)

Your mom. Your dad. Your grandma who had opinions about everything and was right about most of it. The stepdad who didn't have to show up but did. The coach who made you run one more lap. The neighbor who fed you without asking questions. The uncle with the terrible advice that somehow worked out. Whoever it was, they count. Honor them.
