Mothers Day

With Mothers Day approaching, I want to thank my mother for my life.  I want to thank my husband for making it possible for me to be a mother.  I want to thank my children for being my children, and for loving me...their mother, ma, mom, mummy, muma, mum.  I am a mother, and  I am truly blessed for having so many mothers in my life.  My grandmothers, my godmother, my aunts, my sisters, my girlfriends.  We are all mothers, whether we give life or share our lives with others.

To me the definition of a mother, is someone who loves unconditionally, and gives of oneself unselfishly.  So whether a woman has given birth to a child, adopted a child, cared for a child that was not theirs, cared for an aging parent or relative who has become childlike, or loved anyone who needed unconditional love, then to me these woman are what I call the definition of a mother.

So for my friends with children, Happy Mothers Day.  For my friends who are mothering their parents or relatives who are like children themselves, Happy Mothers Day.  For all women who love someone unconditionally, unselfishly, with kindness and compassion, Happy Mothers Day. 

Mothers Day is a Day to celebrate and remember where we came from, and who we are as women.

Happy Mothers Day to all the women in my life.  I celebrate and love you all.
