This is the day we celebrate all of the hard work, sacrifices, unconditional love and care our mothers provided to raise us into the human beings we are today.
We buy cards with funny, cheesy or heartfelt messages. Millions of flowers are delivered all over the country. Little ones prepare and serve breakfast in bed. It's Mom's day
We need to remember, though, that not all of us have the kind of relationship with our mothers that warrants celebration.
Maybe Mom wasn't around physically, or unavailable emotionally. Perhaps you were raised by someone other than your mother...or you pretty much raised yourself.
Mother's Day is really about recognizing that special someone, or group of people, who cared enough about you to make you toe the line, provided a roof, and helped you develop into a decent human being. This person doesn't have to be a blood relation, although I know plenty of people who were raised by their dad, an aunt, grandmother, or foster parent...and they turned out just fine.
Let's celebrate the "Mother" in your life...whoever he, she or they may be.
[Happy Mother's Day, Char. You're the best...love you!]
