Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day! To all the moms of all types of especially grandmothers, Dad’s we get our next month, but let’s celebrate mom’s as we should celebrate them each and every day for the sacrifices they make. I get that mom’s will just be mom’s and to do what they got to do to feed the family, to put food on the table and often women who are mother’s do not get all the appreciation and respect they deserve.

I have many mothers in my life, in my personal life and home life. But two that hold the title to the best mom’s, my wife Delia, and my mother Linda (Who passed in 2015). My mother who, if not for her I would not be in this world today, who through her life made sacrifices, often going without herself, putting myself sister and I first, which is what parents do. I didn’t realize until I got old how much she gave up, especially her chance at a career and I feel some of her life’s goals were squashed.  I can no longer repay my mother for all that she did, but when she was here, I knew she loved me, my wife and of course her granddaughter Mikaylah, getting to see and spend time with her before she passed.

Growing up we always tended to celebrate this special day with traditional flowers, a meal and gifts and I gladly pass on that tradition to my daughter and wife who we celebrate each year, because these memories are precious.

My wife and the mother of our daughter Mikaylah is the person who I get to show how important she is and one day a year is not enough as she makes too many sacrifices for us especially working a physically taxing job each week, something that pains me because she should be a job that she can not relax at times.  I’ll admit I don’t always show her the appreciation she deserves as life brings me down along with my own struggles, but I love her, appreciate you and am thankful for her love for myself and our daughter.

It pains me each day I cannot give her the life she deserves as she deserves a mansion, a million, no a billion bucks in the bank just for her, a life of leisure and peace. I often show her my love but could do better as parents we know our daughter is a gift and want the best for her.

This day may not be a celebration for everyone, as there are some truly horrible mothers out there who abused their gifts, and yes children are a gift from God and mother’s neglect, abuse, murder, kill, abuse and have the ability to cause so much pain to their kids where, their impact can be so much more harmful than a father, especially an absent father.

If you mom is your life, love her , appreciate her, cherish her because you never know when she just wont be there anymore.
