Someone I love very
much said multiple times, “If it’s not one thing, it’s your mother.” I recall
the laughter from those hearing that comment. It made me feel grateful I had a
“good” relationship with my mother. Over the years, I have realized the weight
of that statement. It seems whatever is happening in our lives it is our
mothers we wish for when we are joyful and when times are difficult. Whether
the relationship with our mother is a close one, where trust and respect
abound, or one that has many challenges due past bitterness and disappointment
from a mother who showed favoritism, indifference, or was simply too
self-consumed with her own needs to attend her child’s, what I have observed
over the years is that regardless of a person’s age, our hearts long for the
love of our mother.
This Mother’s day,
may those of you who read this feel the presence of that divine, loving Mother. Her beauty, her unconditional love, her resiliency to life’s events, her abundant, generous, and undeniable sweetness, along with her ever
present listening ears are presented to us every time we walk out of our door
and into her home.
