Mother

Mother- A woman in relation to a child or children to whom she has given birth.

-A person who provides the care and affection associated with the female parent.

Sorry but these definitions are very shallow and lacking. They don't even begin to cover the sheer joy, abundant love, happiness, heartbreak, and continual worrying of a mother. That she, "Provides the care and affection," ok that just sounds cold and unattached. Which is completely opposite of how a mother feels.

She is filled with amazement when her 4 year old comes up to her and says, "Momma, you know "asteroids" is rocks that live in space?" And her heart is full to bursting when her 5 year old says things like, "Your the best mommy EVER!!!!" or "I love you infinity!!!!", and then gives a big bear hug with all she has. She is beaming with pride when her 20 year old picks up the check after an expensive meal. But then, her heart breaks and is full of fear when he moves out to the unknown. She has confidence that God sees her tears and hears her prayers, so she keeps praying, praying, praying...

The dictionary should be updated. I mean think about it, if it's this far off on a word we all know and understand, What about the words we are actually looking up for meaning? Is it that far off on the depth of all the meanings??
