Celebrating Mother's Day
On Mother's Day I am thankful for my two wonderful daughters, my three beautiful grandchildren, and most of all for my mother. They all bring such joy to my life.
Once I became a mother I realized how much time, energy and worry go along with motherhood. How our children are our greatest joy and at times our biggest heartache. As a mother we worry when they are too small to take care of themselves. We worry when they become teenagers and are influenced by their peers - hoping they will make the right decisions. And we don't stop worrying even when they become adults and have their own families. That's just the way it is for a mother.
I also know some amazing women who are like mothers to children that are not their own. How they mentor them and try to enrich their lives by sharing their knowledge and skills, and encouraging them to reach for the stars. These women are extremely valuable and deserve to be recognized on Mother's Day.
As I said - most of all I am thankful for my mother, who raised six children who have become good, responsible adults (with a few minor issues along the way). She is a good, kind woman and she is not only my mother but my friend too. Being able to spending time with her is a pleasure. She is active and healthy, and I am blessed to still have her with me when so many of my friends do not have their Mom any longer.
So I want to wish a Happy Mother's Day to my mother, my sisters, my daughters, my sister-in-law, my friends, and all mothers and female role models out there. Sit back, relax and celebrate yourselves for the wonderful, amazing people you are!!
Where would be without our mothers?
Happy Mother's Day Mom!
