Mother’s day is always on a Sunday and this year is no exception. It falls on Monday May 13 for the year 2007. Each year, this day is set apart to honor all mother’s. As I was pondering the upcoming Mothers day, I was thinking of all the women who for some reason were not able to have children of their own. Why should they be left out of the celebrating and honoring, that has been traditional for years? They shouldn’t because each of us have a different definition of what a “mother’ is to us. In order to understand Mothers Day, we must first understand what it really means to be a mother. You need to understand the person in your life who has held the title of “Mother”. For me, The following describes my mother and I am thankful every day for her strength and love. While growing up, I did not see how much she loved me and only wanted the best for me. I have only come to appreciate this as I have grown older and hopefully wiser. The following is what my mother is to me. This is my definition of “Mother”. What is a Mother? A mother is one who nurtures you in her womb for nine months. A mother is one who brings you into morality to enjoy the wonderful blessings on earth can give you, this blessing is called “life”. A mother is one who gently guides you through the infant years and helps you to become the person that you are today. A mother hold the title of “Guardian Angel” because she protects and supports you. She silently serves you in many ways. She cares for you and helps you to mature to be a strong and individual person. She smiles a smile that i warms your soul and you feel safe. She takes pride in every new accomplishment that you make because in her heart, she knew you could do it. Why is Mother’s day only once a year when a Mother cares for you every day while you are growing up to full maturity.? Mother’s Day is a day that has been set aside to honor and thank the person who helped to make you what you are today. Mothers Day is the day that we should feel grateful to Heavenly Father who has blessed us with an angel that we call “Mother”. A wonderful woman who gave more than she ask in return. The National Retail Foundation predicts Mothers Day is a $14 Billion industry. Florists see their highest sales in May. US restaurants claim that it is the busiest day of the year. Long distance telephone calls also peek on Mothers day. The US Postal Service experiences increased volume during the surrounding days. According to Hallmark, 96 % of American consumers take part in shopping on Mother’s Day, while retailers report it as the second highest gift giving day of the year only to be outdone by Christmas. Why is it that we feel the need to spend money instead of time with our mother? Remember the women in your life who has made a positive impact on the person whom you have become. Remember to take the time this mother’s day to say the simple words “Thank You”. Because there were probably many times that you did not show the gratitude that this women deserved. I know in my life, this is true. Connie C. 2007
