'Mothers Are The Cornerstone Of A Flourishing Society': Melania Trump Issues Heartwarming Mother's Day Message

On Mother's Day, former First Lady Melania Trump issued a heartfelt message honoring the millions of mothers across America raising the next generation. 

"Mothers are the cornerstone of a flourishing society. I take great pride in embracing this responsibility. And, although nothing makes me prouder than the relationship I have built with my son, only a mother knows that some of our efforts remain unnoticed," Melania said in a statement. "Motherhood exists as the bedrock of the American family, and mothers tend to wear several hats: emotional support, inspirational growth, health, love, humor, education, and more."

Melania has one son, Barron Trump, who has recently turned 18 and graduated high school in Florida. He was born in 2006, just after Donald Trump married the formal model in 2005. Barron potentially has some political ambition of his own, with his father explaining recently that Barron occasionally tries to give him advice. The 6'7 young Barron was also recently offered to be a delegate at the Republican National Convention this summer. However, he declined the offer due to "prior commitments."

"We strive to provide our children with the building blocks to create meaningful relationships, plus the tools to eventually grow into mindful adults who thrive," the former first lady continued. "When moms are healthy, our communities are too."

"As mothers, we are inclined to honor our mothers and mother figures on Mother's Day, but we must also be mindful of ourselves," she added. "It may be difficult to imagine, but when moms prioritize self-care, our families and children enjoy greater stability. Together, as mothers, we can institute a sense of unity, respect, and calm across the next generation."
