15 Pics That Show Mothers Are Our Guardian Angels

The second we step into this world, we make our presence known by crying loudly — and it might just be because we’re sad to leave our mother’s womb, the place where we were protected at all costs, the place that provided us with everything we need. Our moms are the reason we’re alive and their sacrifices are endless — even if we sometimes might find it hard to actually say it out loud, we love them with our entire being.

Someone we can share our good and bad moments, a shoulder to cry on, a place that we feel safe forever — our mothers are the true heroes and Bright Side gathered some snaps that prove this, once again.
