Motherless. That’s what my life felt like. It was a feeling of loss, the despair of not having someone there to shoulder the pain, to be there when I needed her most.

My list of quotes are ones that show the strength and determination people have who didn’t have mothers around them or, in some cases, even lost their mothers too soon.
