Meteorologists are predicting stormy weather for tomorrow. Incidentally, that’s Mother’s Day and although this may sound strange, the storms seem fitting. Let me explain:
This is my second Mother’s Day. I barely slipped in last year, as my daughter was just a wee little thing. So for the past year and change, I’ve endured my share of storms. According to my mother, and every other mom I speak with, I have yet to witness the really difficult stuff.
I feel that the love I have for my mother grows stronger with each passing day. I realize she surely weathered many a storm raising 7 children, and for many years as a single parent after my parents divorced. The thought is unimaginable that what I’m going through with my toddler she did 7 times over!
Mommyhood is such a beautiful experience, but the toughest job I’ve ever had! On this Mother’s Day, I will take the time to make sure my mom knows she is very much loved and appreciated. I feel so grateful to have a mom who exhibited the wisdom and compassion needed to raise loving and intelligent children. Because of her, my siblings and I are disciplined, determined, compassionate, intelligent, and myriad other attributes that we owe in part to our upbringing.
Happy Mother’s Day mom!
Thanks for all that you gave and continue to give that has allowed me to be a great mom to my own child.
Happy Mommas Day Dara, from both of us! Enjoy your day!
