Today is Mother’s Day in the US. It is a day set aside to honor mothers, and those women who have been like mothers to us – perhaps a grandmother, aunt, or stepmother.
Mothers do a lot for us. They take care of us even before we are born. They fed us and clothed us when we were babies. When we were sick, they sat beside us and did everything they could to make us feel better. They taught us our first words and watched us take our first steps. They helped us get through the trials and tribulations of childhood, and taught us how to act like adults. They helped mold us into the people we are today.
If your mother is still alive, give her a call or write her a letter and let her know how much you appreciate her.
The following is a podcast from a few years ago on the subject of Mother’s Day.
Happy Mother’s Day!
