It’s Mother’s Day, I’m just thinking that I will spend a few minutes with a reminder, a salutation, a shout out and some random thoughts on Moms and Mother’s Day.
A Reminder - don’t forget your mother this Sunday. How grateful we should all be for the woman who sacrificed so much to bring us into this world.
A Salutation - Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers, thank you for all your sacrifices, for all your tenacity, for your resilience and your perseverance. Every year on a sunny Sunday in May we recognize mothers; we thank them for all that they do for us and for all of the things that we take for granted the rest of the year.
A shout out - thank you Mom and Happy Mother’s Day, so many great memories of growing up, of Mothers Days past, I’m so blessed to have you as my mom.
Some Random Thoughts – I always referred to Mother’s Day as a hallmark holiday, but that was mostly tongue in check, mothers deserve a special day more than anyone. Mothers are the unsung heroes often playing multiple roles in our lives, caregivers, teachers, cooks, cleaners, and role models. When we think of Mom’s we like to picture mothers that we grew up with on TV, such as June Cleaver, Shirley Partridge or Carol Brady, the all-knowing unflappable parent who is ready with a kind word, a snack or a pat on the head. The reality is more akin to Ralphie’s Mom in “A Christmas Story”, Mother Parker is a warm and nurturing mother. She is calm, patient while managing to maintain her sanity through the chaos that surrounds her, but not afraid to have you bite of a bar of soap for saying $#@%@#.
Mother’s Day brings a mix of emotions, especially for those who have lost their mothers or have a strained relationship. It’s a day that can evoke both celebration and reflection. It's common to remember the advice and sayings from our mothers, especially on Mother’s Day. Whether humorous or heartfelt, these memories shape our perspectives and actions throughout our lives.
Happy Mother’s Day
Let me know what you think.
