if you ask me…
Mother's Day is a time of course when we recognize that wonderful person in our lives that has meant so much to us for so long.
Most of us have someone in our lives to whom we have turned in times of crisis— friends and relatives upon whose shoulders we have cried and those who have shone a ray of hope upon us in desperate times. It's good to also recognize them at this time.
Mother’s Day is for anyone who has mothered someone and for anyone who has carried a child, whether that applies to biological mothers, adoptive mothers, stepmothers, foster mothers, care providers, childminders, mothers who’ve lost a child, single mothers, single dads, grandmothers, aunties, sisters or close friends.
Recognizing those you love and those who have loved you is not a difficult task. Sometimes the simplest of gestures can mean so much more than the most expensive gift; a few words of comfort, a hug and a listening ear for example.
For those who have lost mothers and children, although it may be painful, spend time remembering happy moments of the love and joy. Their love, lives on in you and is what gives you the strength to give love to others.
It will be a special time for us and I hope it will be for you as well-
Happy Mother's Day!
