Mothers’ Day Greetings
Today is mothers day. Happy mothers day to all the mothers in the world. A special greeting goes to those mothers that have had a major impact in my life: my own mother, my grandmothers, and my daughter’s mother. Although Chris is not my mother, her being a mother to our daughter, Caitlin Ema, has impacted me.
Mothers are a constant in one’s life. No matter how old one gets, our mother will always be a mother, always concerned about how we’re getting along, concerned whether we are eating well, dressing well, taking care of ourselves well, keeping our homes well, concerned about our moral and spiritual direction and many other things a mother concerns herself with. To some, the mother’s love can sometimes be stifling, but we must remember it is this same love that has molded us to the way we are. And if you think you turned out pretty well, then you must be thankful for that love and not resent it.
Mothers are so constant that the things they do for their children are often taken for granted. So on this special day I express my thanks to the three living mothers in my life.
