Yes. I had to. I just had to.
It's INCREDIBLE the amount of work that mothers do for us. Holy cow, I mean starting with the 9 months that they have to put up with us kicking them and making them sick and hormonal. haha. I don't think that as children we truly know how much our moms sacrifice for us and how much they love us. From my persona experience, it took me a couple of years to really appreciate my mom.
I have been extremely blessed because I have an AMAZING mother. Honestly, I have no idea where I would be without my mom. I see her as one of the strongest people I know because she has had a difficult life, my mom has lived in extreme poverty and has struggled with people putting her down her whole life and yet she's still standing. She has done everything possible to be a good mother, she will stop buying stuff for herself just to get us what we need, and when I mean "stuff" I don't mean "extra stuff", I mean essential things that any human being needs. My mother was born to be a mother because it's the thing that she does best, my mom has worked in many other things but being a mom is what makes her the happiest. Now I'm not saying she's the perfect mother because she's not, she has made mistakes just like any other mom out there, but she tries. She tries so hard to be the best she can be and give us the best and that's what matters to me. I don't count her mistakes, how can I? Was I made to judge my parents?? No. I was made to love them and respect them and on a day like today I want to honor my mother.
But...
This is NOT only for my mother. This is for every mother out there. Whether your mom is alive or has passed away take this day to celebrate and honor your mom. Really think about everything that your mom has done for you and do at least one nice thing for your mom.
I know my mom is great and I am blessed but I also know not everyone has great mothers. If your mom is not the greatest mom out there or she left you or she doesn't agree with you on a lot of things, then be thankful. Be thankful for all their flaws because that pain they cause you is the most useless suffering you will ever feel. No mother in her right mind means to hurt her children, her love for you is unconditional! Just because someone doesn't know how to love it doesn't mean they don't posses that feeling. Heck yeah it hurts, but you have a choice, you either sit there and judge your mother and let the pain consume you, or you can be the better person and love her even it she doesn't reciprocate.
And if you are a mom reading this, congratulations. You have no idea how important your role is in this world. Don't EVER feel like you are not appreciated or loved because it's a lie. No matter how bratty your kids are they do love you. They do!! And you might not get paid for what you do but love is the best payment anyone can get.
Have a wonderful mother's day! God bless you!!!!!!!!
