I miss my Mom. Mom has been gone from this world for nearly 8
years. As with all families and all Moms (or most perhaps) there were
conflict issues, relationship challenges and multitudes of feelings.
I have been blessed in life with other “Mom” figures too. To Mom
who is gone and to Moms who are not, be sure to recognize them today.
No, not materialistically. Try a hug, a sincere statement of
appreciation and just love them.
Moms provide central support to most people in childhood, youth and
adulthood. When you have no one to hear your pain, Mom will. When you
need a warm contentment outside of rationality and logic, Moms can
provide it. Moms are your biggest fans, your rock of origin and a
relationship that is unique amongst all the ones you have. Appreciate
it. Thoughtfully consider it, meditate on it. Pray in thanksgiving
for it. Even Jesus’ Mother fit in this way.
I love you Mom even if I can’t hug you today. I love the other Moms
in my life too and wish each and all a joyous Mother’s day. I
encourage you all to make as many days a year as you can, some kind of
“Mother’s Day”.
