“Happy Mother’s Day!”

Yes, that phrase almost all of us are either hearing, or saying today, to Mothers, Mother-in-laws, Grandmothers, all over both near and far. For what your Mother has meant to you over the years, whether or not she is still on good ol’ Planet Earth with you, or has passed on to be with God in Heaven, is the focus of this day of Homage to our Maternal Parent.

And to say there have been some very famous Mothers over the years, ‘Eve’ included, would certainly be an enormous understatement. Mother Theresa (although not a biological Mother, in the strict sense of the word, but a great ‘Mother’ all the same) may come to mind for many, while I am sure many more are already filtering through your thoughts as you read this, including even Mary, the Mother of Jesus.

It is also perhaps fitting that within the calendar year, Mother’s Day is celebrated before Father’s Day, in that, Mothers often bring to mind images of renewal, refreshment emotionally and that life does have the various cycles we go through year to year. If you have not already taken at least the time to even give your Mother a phone call today, perhaps do so now… (I already called, got her voicemail… haha!)

Tell her you love her, and remind her of what she means to you. She is the only one you had; remember and cherish that fact always. No Mother was ever perfect, but yours was perfect for ‘you’.

Just…Thoughts…
