With Mothers, It's not about Stature, It's about Service.

   If anything, a mother is self-effacing. They do good without a credit line, without seeking acclaim. Honor goes to those elected to office, and to those who succeed in the business world, and to those who are sports and entertainment stars. And, while a woman can become each of those, her role as mother does not come with such acclaim. Rather, as a mother, she gets little recognition. Being a mother doesn't come with bright lights and headlines. It comes with anonymity. Changing diapers and and washing clothes has yet to win a Pulitzer.
   With mothers, it's not about stature, it's about service.
