Happy Mother’s Day from TrellisEd

Happy Mother’s Day from TrellisEd

Today, we honor the roots that hold us steady and the hearts that help us grow—mothers.

Mothers come in many forms—biological, adoptive, chosen, grand, god, and community—and they show up with strength, softness, wisdom, and love that weaves the very fabric of our families and communities. At TrellisEd, where connection and growth are at the core of all we do, we recognize and celebrate every mom nurturing children, ideas, and dreams into bloom.

To celebrate this day of gratitude, here are just a few of our favorite words for “mom” around the world:

• Arabic: أم (“omm”), ماما (“mama”), مامي (“mami”)

• Cherokee: agitsi

• Danish: mor

• Estonian: ema

• French: mère, maman

• German: mutter, mama, mami

• Hawaiian: makuahine

• Icelandic: móðir, mamma

• Indonesian: ibu, mama

• Inuktitut: anaana

• Japanese: 母 (haha), お母さん (okaasan), ママ (mama)

No matter how we say it, the spirit of motherhood is universal—a sacred dance of guidance, patience, and unconditional love.

To all the mothers, caregivers, and nurturers in our TrellisEd community and beyond: thank you. You make the world gentler, stronger, and more beautiful. Happy Mother’s Day!
