There
is no one in the world like a mother. Today, as we get ready to celebrate
Mother’s Day in two days’ time, I would like to tell you about mine.
When
I think about my mother, I am in awe. I marvel at the things she accomplished during
her life, the challenges she overcome and the joy she brought to my life. I am
inspired by everything she was as a woman and as a mother. She was my biggest
champion and my loudest cheerleader. She was always there to provide a warm,
comforting shoulder to cry on or to deliver the pointed pep talk to motivate me
when I needed it. Her love always made me feel protected, supported and secure.
My
mother imparted her wisdom and love in the small and in the big things she did.
She prepared meals when she was tired. She smiled when she was sad. She forgave
when she was hurt. When I didn’t feel well, she was the first person to check
on me to make sure I was drinking enough fluids and getting enough rest. If I
wanted or needed something, more often than not she surprised me with that
desired object weeks or months later. By then, I had often forgotten that I even
mentioned wanting or pointing it out to her, which made her present even more
special to me.
My
mother was my greatest confidant, my very best friend. She was one of the few
people with whom I can sit in comfortable silence and just be in the moment. She was 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 heard about in the news. She showed me by example
how to give love and respect the people I care about. She taught 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!
