Please be sure to remember your Mother & Grandmother Sunday. You do not have to buy anything. Sending a card would be nice if you are unable to visit in person. For this is a special occasion put aside once a year to recognize all that they do and have done for us. I’m sure if you were to pay a visit, even a brief one, you will have made her day most special.
I want to start off by posting my love to all the Mothers and Grandmothers in my life. My Mother, Nancy, I love you and may your day be filled with nothing but wonderful memories of your children, grandchildren and your Mother, Ada. My Mother-in-Law, Julie, I love you and hope you enjoy the time you spend with us and reflect on the wonderful memories from your children, grandchildren and your Mother and Stepmother. My Daughter, Brandy, I love you and hope you get a day of rest and relaxation, even though I know you won’t take it! You have been a joy to me and we couldn’t be more proud of the Mother you have become! You have a loving tribe and a loving husband…keep them near and dear to your heart! My Daughter, Holly, I love you. I know you won’t have too much of a break, since your husband has to work, but I hope that you enjoy your “cute little dumplins” and take pride in that you are a great Mom with lots of love to give to them. At times they can be overwhelming but, hang in there sweetie! I know it’s not easy having most of your family miles away. You don’t feel like you get a break. We love and miss you and are proud of you! My Sister, Trish, happy 1st time Grandma-Mother’s Day! Hope you get to spend your day surrounded by all the loves of your life! And I hope your new business venture takes you far!!! My Grandmothers, Ada & Dorothy, I love you and miss you. It has been many years since I could personally wish you love on Mother’s Day, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t think of you both every Mother’s Day. I think about you when special little memories pop-up from doing things or going places that held special memories for me with you. I know you both are greatly missed by all of your loving children and grandchildren and even some great-grandchildren that were fortunate enough to know you before your passings.
What does my Mom mean to me? My Mom is a kind, loving, wonderful, God-fearing woman who has made many sacrifices in her life to give her five children and her husband of 53 years, everything she could that was of value to her. Her love, her time, her sincerity, her love of God, her many talents, the values that were instilled in her from her wonderful Mother, Ada.
I look back and realize that when you’re a kid growing up you take your Mom for granted. I don’t really think you ever realize all they did for you , for your family, until the job is bestowed upon you as an adult. There is a lot of hard work and love that goes into raising a family no matter what the size. And for that these women do need to be honored, even more than once a year!
You can be a Mom to someone without having to give birth to them. Some people have multiple Moms. Doesn’t mean that only the Mom that “birthed” them can give them a Mother’s love. A Mom can be someone that has loved and cared for you in the absence of your birth Mom. It should not make her any less of a Mom in your eyes or hers! And this applies to Grandmothers as well! I am acquainted with many children being raised by their Grandmothers. Some even look at her as if she were their Mom. I don’t think there could be anymore of an honor than being thought of in that way, under those circumstances.
So, if you have a special someone in your life that is (or has been like) a Mom or Grandmother to you….Please honor them with the special recognition that they deserve on this great holiday that we call “MOTHER’S DAY”.
