Mothers' Day is around the corner, and I can't help but get caught up in the emotion of it all. More so this year because our daughter is having her first child. It takes on a new meaning to see motherhood hitting the one you held in your arms what seems like yesterday. Anicia will be a great mom and it will be fun to have a new infant in the family this fall.
On the other side of the spectrum, I remember my own mom this week, as I do every year, not to mention on a daily basis. 'Ama' as I called her was a fantastic mother. She gave to her kids before giving to herself, and spent many a night waiting up for us, caring for us when we were ailing, and always made sure our home was a safe haven. I still miss her-- it's been 13 years since she went home to be with the Lord. But she lives on in her children and grandchildren. Even my husband quotes her often, stating, "A wise woman once said..."
Happy Mother's Day to all moms who love their children, work unceasingly for them, and continue to have faith in them, even when they don't have faith in themselves.
