Mother’s day.
It’s one of those days that no matter how much you do, it always ends up feeling like it wasn’t enough, even though Mom will be the last to complain about anything. That’s not due to failings on our part; The Debt of thanks we owe our mothers is one that cannot be properly repaid, and no amount of profuse thanks can balance the books. All we can do is to meekly acknowledge that debt, and let her know she is loved, because in the end, that is all she will really want, anyway. Mother’s day gives us the opportunity to do just that.
But there is more to this day; The reverse is also true; You are her reach into the future, part of her lives on in you. With so much of her in you and you being how she will live on here on earth, even beyond her own years, how can she help but be proud of you? So, that thankfulness, that connection flows both ways.
Happy Mother’s day, Mom.
