Happy Mother’s Day. This is the second Mother’s Day here in Ontario, Canada, where you can’t get together with your family (unless you live in the same home) and it adds a whole new level of appreciation for moms. Dads, too, of course, but today we are celebrating all things Mom.
I have three children. I remember well the hectic days when they were toddlers and the stressful years when they were on the verge of adulthood. And the last few years I have been blessed to witness an amazing transformation as one of my sons became a father. And, just recently, we received the joyous news that our daughter is about to become a mother this autumn. Something exciting and wonderful to think about in these un-ending lockdowns.
To all the mothers out there…to all those who take on the role of mother…to those who care for, nurture, provide wisdom and guidance for those in their care, I thank you. We thank you. Our mothers are the centers of our universe.
For those who have lost their mothers, I understand how that feels. I miss my mother every single day. I remember the laughter we shared, the wisdom she imparted and the life lessons she taught me. Her spirit lives on.
