In Memory Of a Saint II


Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there! This holiday celebrates the spirit of motherhood. As someone who believed that she had the best mom in the world, I honor her memory today. This is my way to say thank you to her even though she is no longer living and to give testimony to her courage and character as my mom.

In my mother’s imperfection lay her perfection, for all that she was and what she instilled in us to be. She never shied away from taking a risk, from going forward, for choosing to fail at something, and she did it with gusto.

You see the greater good was that she showed us by her example to be fearless. To go after what we wanted and if we didn’t succeed to try again. Yes, my mother was amazing and I thank her for her courageous spirit and a life full of joy!

To harbour love and uplifting feelings keeps kindred spirits and loved ones close to our hearts. Happy belated Mother's Day. Curious how this holiday came about. Mothers are recognized and appreciated every moment for their role and loving kindness. They need not only be recognized one day per year.

Liara,
You are so right. We should appreciate our mothers every day because our time with them is so precious. Peace :-)
