What does Mother’s Day mean to me?
It means so many things.
It is happiness. It is
sorrow. It is old memories..it is making
new ones.
My mother passed away 9 years ago, and it is sad to know that
she is no longer here with me, but taught me to be the best that I can. She taught me that it is ok to fail. To get up.
Try again. To love
unconditionally. To live it up in
college-you only live once. To always
rely on your siblings. To never show up
at anyone’s home empty handed. How to
make meatloaf. I think that is my
husband’s favorite. Her memory will
always live on with me, and my siblings.
It is standing in the kitchen, waiting for some homemade
banana bread to be done baking for brunch tomorrow with my mother in law and
family tomorrow morning.
It is praying for those who are trying to conceive and be a
mom. A road that is not easy for many.
It is praying for those moms of angel babies, who yearn for their children on this day, and many days.
It is helping out those new moms, who may just need a hand at
home. A break from mommy duty. A friend to just listen, and not to judge.
Mother’s day is a day to appreciate those women all around us
that much more. Those that are
here. Those that are the role of mom,
sister, aunt, grandmother, friend. Those
that just do those mom things.
Cheers to all the moms.
Both here on earth, and in heaven.
Those with us today, or 2000 miles away.
The world is a better place with women like you!!
