\|Ot æuèjù"ä Au"| <strong>2015</strong><br />
Every one of us owes our existence to our mothers. If it weren’t<br />
for our mothers giving birth to us, we would not be here today.<br />
But serving as the needed vessel by which we were all brought<br />
into this world is far from the only way in which our mothers<br />
have been there for us. They fed us, nursed us and took care<br />
of all our needs when we were infants. They were there to heal<br />
our wounds when we injured ourselves and offer gentle<br />
comfort when we were feeling down, even if they themselves<br />
were in pain.<br />
As we grew older, they were there to lend an ear when we<br />
wanted to talk about our day at school. They were willing to<br />
listen to our desperate pleas for them to get us whatever the<br />
latest fad was at that time, even if we never got those gadgets<br />
for which we longed. They served as sounding boards for us<br />
when we needed to vent after having a particularly bad day.<br />
They shed a tear when we headed out of their warm, loving<br />
embraces and into the cold, uncertain world. They longed to<br />
hear about our journeys in life, but they longed even more for<br />
the time when we would return to our home, even if but for<br />
a few hours on a Sunday. They eagerly anticipated the times<br />
when we would bring our children over so they could spoil them<br />
just as our grandmothers spoiled us.<br />
They gave us sound advice when we needed it. We may not<br />
have recognized it at the time, but as we grow wiser over the<br />
years, we realize Mom’s advice was Sage’s advice and we<br />
were foolish for not heeding it more in our younger years.<br />
For all these reasons and so many more, we pay tribute to our<br />
Mom on Mother’s Day, but no card, floral bouquet or dinner<br />
at a restaurant can come close to properly repaying our<br />
mothers for all they did for us throughout our lives. This is not<br />
to say we should forego these traditional gifts and expressions<br />
of gratitude this weekend, but we should show our gratitude<br />
to our mothers more than just on Mother’s Day.<br />
A simple phone call letting her know how you are doing and<br />
letting her know how important she is to you can be done at<br />
any time, and is greatly appreciated at all times. Taking Mom<br />
out to dinner on Mother's Day is a nice gesture, but inviting<br />
her over to your house and cooking for her is just as nice, and<br />
less expensive. That as well can be done at any point during<br />
the year and should not be reserved solely on Mother's Day<br />
For those of us whose mothers are no longer with us, say a<br />
little prayer for them - on Mother’s Day and throughout the year.<br />
Spending a few quiet moments reflecting on all she did for you<br />
when she was alive can rekindle happy memories in you and<br />
will keep her memory alive and well.<br />
Mother’s Day is a nice occasion to thank your mother for<br />
everything she did for you over the years. It should certainly<br />
not be the only occasion in which you offer her thanks for all<br />
she has done. She deserves so much more than that.<br />
I find myself wondering<br />
Did I give you your due?<br />
For all that you've done for me<br />
Did I ever thank you?<br />
For all of my childhood memories<br />
for helping me deal with life stress<br />
for helping me accept my defeats<br />
And celebrate my successes<br />
Or for teaching me the value of hard work<br />
Good judgement, courage and being true<br />
The laughter, smiles and quiet times we've shared<br />
Did I ever thank you ?<br />
If I have forgotten, I’m thanking you now<br />
You taught me right from wrong<br />
I hope you know how much you're loved and appreciated<br />
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO ALL THE MOMS OUT THERE.<br />
