There
is no one in the world like a mother. Today, to celebrate Mother’s Day, I would
like to tell you about mine.
When
I think about my mother, I am in awe. I marvel at the things she has
accomplished in her life, the challenges she has overcome and the joy she
brings to my life. I am inspired by everything she is as a woman and as a
mother. She is my biggest champion and my loudest cheerleader. She is always
there to provide a warm, comforting shoulder to cry on or to deliver the
pointed pep talk to motivate me when I need it. Her love always makes me feel
protected, supported and secure.
My
mother imparts her wisdom and love in the small and in the big things she does.
She prepares meals when she is tired. She smiles when she is sad. She forgives
when she is hurt. When I don’t feel well, she is the first person to check on
me to make sure I am drinking enough fluids and getting enough rest. If I want
or need something, more often than not she surprises me with that desired
object weeks or months later. By then, I have often forgotten that I even
mentioned wanting or pointing it out to her, which makes her present even more
special to me.
My
mother is my greatest confidant, my very best friend. She is one of the few
people with whom I can sit in comfortable silence and just be in the moment. She is someone I can laugh with about the
goings-on in one of our favorite television shows, compare favorite recipes and
discuss the heavy issues we see or hear about in the news. She shows me by
example how to give love and respect the people I care about. She has taught and
continues to teach me so much about life by just watching her live hers.
To
my most beloved mother and yours, I wish you a very happy Mother’s Day!
