This Mother’s Day is a tough one for many. Typically, we take this day to give our gratitude to the women in our lives who have molded us into who we are. We bring them flowers, take them to the spa or simply spend the day together.
This year, canceled plans, slow shipping times and social distancing measures have made giving our moms the day they deserve a challenge. But here at Nebo, we’re rising to it.
We’re using the power of poetry to honor the women who raised us, from our moms and stepmoms to our aunts, grandmothers, friends, and neighbors. Our employees wrote haiku that showcase their love for an influential motherly figure in their life. Some are funny, some are heartfelt, but the message remains the same: we love our moms.
We hope you enjoy reading these as much as we enjoyed writing them.
