HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!



Of all the non-religious holidays, I think Mother's Day is the most emotional, most guilt-filled, and yet, the sweetest holiday of the year.  It's the most emotional because we attach a lot of emotion to our mothers and the way they raised us and how we, as mothers, raise our own children.  We deeply love our mothers and set them apart on a pedestal   We can sometimes be touched with guilt because no matter what we do or say, it seems as if it can never equate to the love she showered on us all those years.  As a babe in arms, she was our first true love.  Our love for her was achingly sweet.  And she loved us back with all the vigor she had!

All of us have or had a mother but not all of us knew our mother, for many different reasons.  No one can ever take the place of a mother.  It's fair to say that if we didn't know our mother, there were women who filled that role, at various times in our lives.  They could be a grandmother, stepmother, aunt, motherly friend, or teacher. 

We can give thanks to God for our mothers and mother-substitutes.  We can express our gratitude for what they taught us and the love they gave us.  Let's make time for them.  Tell and show them how much we really love them.
