Reminders of Mother's Day pop up everywhere.
Although my own mother died at 54 of colon cancer I recall her regularly.
Moms are the first teachers. Moms show us how to love.
My own mom raised seven of us, including two sets of twins. Mom married dad during the Depression. Mom hailed from Cheboygan, Michigan. The money she earned in Detroit was ent home to help her family.
Moms teach us hospitality. My mom could stretch hamburger to feed the nine of us. How did my mom and dad ever do it? They did what they had to!
May is mom's special month. Their children make their first communion when Christians remember what Jesus did at the last supper showing us all how to give, forgive and live loving lives.
May is Mary's month also. Mary, the mother of God, has a colorful ring of tulips and marigolds placed on her head in grade school. We would sing: "We crown you with blossoms today...
Catholics pray the rosary more in May: Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you, blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Children are closest to mom. Mom is the center of the family. Perhaps because mom carried me to fruition.
A dose of mom's love goes a long way. Always will. Thanks mom! I love you!
Remember mom May 9th.
