I know it feels like another reason for flower shops and Hallmark to make more money, but it doesn’t have to be like that unless you let it.
Give your Mother a hug and a kiss. Tell her how important she is and remember all the things she does for you throughout the year. I lost my mother in 2008 and my father in 1998, when these days come around I used to miss them more, but now I can think of them and smile.
It’s not about buying things or giving things today, for me its about appreciation and a sincere desire to let wonderful parents know the impact they have made in our lives.
No one is and island, and we all have a mother. The lucky among us can also choose our biological mother as that wonderful friend and person in our lives who not only gave us life, but also taught us how to live a good life.
Our spiritual mother is a choice, look for her, seek and you will find her waiting to offer hugs and encouragement. This mother is like an elusive fairy, hiding right before your eyes.
Have a great Mother’s Day.
“Baby mine, don’t you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part
Baby of mine
Little one, when you play
Don’t you mind what they say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear
Baby of mine
If they knew sweet little you
They’d end up loving you too
All of those people who scold you
What they’d give just for the right to hold you
From your head, down to your toes
You’re not much, goodness knows
But you’re so precious to me
Sweet as can be
Baby of mine
If they knew sweet little you
They’d end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they’d give just for the right to hold you
From your head, down to your toes
You’re not much, goodness knows
But you’re so precious to me
Sweet as can be
Baby of mine
Baby of mine “- from Dumbo
Am I the only one who cries with joy an sadness when Dumbo’s Mother sings him this song? To me it is the breadth and sum of motherhood, no biological ties required.
