Remembering not only how sweet mum was in caring for us when ill, but also the fear when caught scribbling on walls or pulling a sibling's hair! Today is the day to think of our maternal figure, whether it be your biological mother, a grandmother, Aunt, friend, foster mother or the spiritual among us may take this time to look towards Mary, or Mother Earth.
I'm trying to make it as meaningful as it should be for me this year, having never given enough thought before. I am incredibly thankful that my mother took me in as a teen, and held on to me ever since. We don't see enough of each other I suppose, but we always know that the other is there :)
From the other perspective, is this a time to think over my period as a mother?Holding my babies so close in my belly, giving birth, Love and care ever since. My children are still too young to 'get' it all I think, so it is more my time to appreciate being lucky enough to be a mother.
How fortunate are we? To have our babies that will be with us forever, that one day they may feel happy and proud to call me mum and some day become parents themselves.
Happy Mothers day to all the mamas out there.
