Mother's Day has come and gone, and yet there are Mothers all over the world doing their best to take care of, and raise their children. Being a mother is a full time job, and a tough and trying job in every sense. My Mother raised five kids basically by herself. Maybe we weren't the worst children to have to watch over, but I am sure we weren't the easiest either. And to this day, if one of us has a problem or someting is bothering us, guess who we call. Yup, being a mother is a tough job, and it never ends. None of us would be here at all if it wasn't for our mothers, and some of us would never have survived for this long without the loving help of our mother. And I am speaking for myself in this case. I cannot give, or even express to her, all the appreciation that she deserves. I can only hope she has an inkling (idea) of all the love her children have for her.
And into this concept of appreciation I would have to include my sister, who even with a full schedule, a husband she looks out for, as well as her in-laws she is always helping out, she still finds time to look out for me as well, even though I am the oldest. So, whether I deserve it or not, I am a pretty lucky guy, and very blessed.
(Except for sleep. We seem to have a sleep problem in the family. For me, it's feast or famine. Sometimes I go for days on 5 to 7 hours of sleep a night (famine). Then, like last night, I get 9 or 10 hours in one night(feast), and when I wake up I feel like an overcooked noodle. See, I managed to get in one complaint...I feel better now.)
So, Remember, show some real appreciation for what your Mothers have done, and do, for you. And for those of you who are mothers, you should remember, if it wasn't for you, none of us would be here.
