The Power of Mom.
I woke up on this Mother’s Day and called my mom. She was asleep so I left her a message reminding her why she is so special.
As I spoke into the phone I told her that she meant a lot to me. I told her that she was thoughtful and patient and willing to sacrifice for her children. I thanked her for always having time to listen to my problems and preparing to make them her problems at the drop of a hat.
I thanked her for putting that band aid on my knee when I was 6.
I thanked her for the sagacious advice she gave me now that I’m decades older.
That’s what moms do.
After hanging up, I thought about the power of mom.
Mothers are a life force. That life force is primordial.
At the moment of conception, something changes in a woman’s DNA and they become protectors and nurturers of the child within.
Suddenly they become moms, warriors on a maternal mission, their bodies carrying and protecting their children for 9 months.
And the moment we are born, they make sure we are fed and clean. Mom wipes our nose and gives us our first bath. Mom rocks us to sleep and changes our diaper.
Moms are like marines who would fall on a grenade for their children. They toil and sacrifice making sure their baby is safe and does not want.
Today is mother’s day.
Celebrate your mother, reward her with kindness. She is special and deserves praise for she is the giver of life.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there.
You are unique and beloved.
and that is crazy.™
