I'll Always Love My Mom

A salute to mothers everywhere

:SHE BROUGHT ME INTO THIS WORLD."  Those are the lyrics to a great song recorded by the Intruders in 1973 and in a way it sums up how I feel on this Mother's day weekend. This is a great time to reflect on what mothers mean to all of us. Here is what i want to say...

-A mother is one whose love has no string attached to it.....just because, that's why

-A mother is one who despite 3 difficult pregnancies and childbirths still managed to travel to New York City in the turbulent early 60s to the Child's Eye institute to try and make sure her son saw good doctors.  She even ventured back out to the street to constantly put a quarter in the parking meter for her parked car.

-A mother is one that always listens and even though she has the answer will let you do it your way

-A mother is one who endures even through a time when DAYCARE was just that...YOU CARED FOR YOUR OWN CHILDREN during the DAY.

-A mother is one who sacrificed a new dress or getting her hair done many times so you had new clothes for school

-A mother is one of Faith and Belief so strong that when her son was born with an incurable disease, she found a way to a Good Doctor and the faith of this mother and her son resulted in the healing of epilepsy at the son's age of 7

-A mother is one of encouragement even when it seems there is no earthly reason to be encouraged

-A mother is one of indescribable strength to battle 2 bouts of a cursed disease that no one should have to fight--cancer

-A mother is a woman of prayer, it does change things

-A mother is the best blessing that God can give to you.  If yours is still on this earth make sure she knows it.  If she isn't here act as if she was.

I often tell people that everyday to me is like a present because the greatest gift ever given to me is still here....HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MOM, I LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY
