On This Day
When times are tough, sometimes we need an encouraging voice or uplifting story to
help get us through. Seeing that it is Mother’s Day I have decided to write about Mothers.
Where do I start? I believe all the first’s were with mom, the first voice we heard, the first
cuddle, the first smile. Mom was always there.
Mom could fix anything. As little as a scraped knee, to as huge as a broken heart,
mom was always there with her soft touch and caring ways. As kind and gentle as moms
are, they are also very strong especially when it comes to their family.
I often think about our Blessed Mother and how very strong she was to witness her
only son Jesus Christ, who was tortured and then crucified. I cannot even imagine what
torment she must have endured. However, on the other hand when I think of Our Lady I
always think of her as very kind, gentle and a compassionate woman.
My mom had a huge heart. She would help anyone in need. She taught my brothers
and me so many things. Two things that really stand out are loyalty and kindness. This is
my second year without my mom and I truly miss her every day. I will tell you I love being
a mom. There is nothing in the world like it. My husband and I are very blessed to have
two wonderful children Dan and Megan. I never thought it could get any better and then
my granddaughters Charlotte and Cameran came along. Being with the two of them is
pure happiness and joy.
On this Mother’s Day, I know we will all be remembering our moms. If you are lucky
enough to still have your mom hug her and thank her for everything she has done for
you. If she is no longer here, and is celebrating Mother’s Day in heaven with our Blessed
Mother please say a prayer thanking her. Wishing you all a Blessed Mother’s Day.
