"Mother your light shines forever in my heart. Over and over you sacrificed your needs for mine. There will be my endless devotion to your love. Holding the weight of my challenges in your hands. Even though I didn’t understand. Repeatedly you forgave me and held me in your arms."
by JC Cadena
On Mother’s day we honor our mothers for all the sacrifices they have made for us. They have unconditionally given their bodies, their hearts, their lives, their love, so we can live and rejoice. I will reflect and honor her memory on this day. If you are lucky enough to have your mother close, this is the day to tell her how special she is. I encourage you to get sentimental, a hug, a kiss on the cheek, a single flower, a poem, to show a feeling of love or gratitude.
It’s not how big your gift is, but how big your heart is. Make that day special for her. Just as she made you feel special on those days you felt low.
Tell her about the special memory you have. Perhaps you still remember that day you felt sick or sad and she made your favorite meal to heal you. Or she bought you that toy, you really weren't suppose to have. Tell her that now.
On this day its about our expression and respect for her. If you are hesitant; perhaps, you've distanced yourself from her. On Mother’s day break that wall and tell her you love her. This is it. This is your chance.
Honor her as the Greeks honored their mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele. Honor her as the faithful were lead back to honor the mother church. And honor her the best way you know how, let yourself be that child that cried for her and love her.
