You don't have to be a Mom...

[Guest Guest]

To celebrate this day.

 

Celebrate having a Mom...

even if she's gone, she remains with you.

 

In the very best you are, she is there.

 

Sometimes we learn to be a better person because of her example.

 

Sometimes it is because you made a decision *not* to be like her, but still, the reason was her.

 

Celebrate the Mom you wish you had, and create a better world for a child.

 

Many of us are Moms, and some are experienced enough to see the results of their mothering.

 

Others are just entering the joys and trials of motherhood.

 

Remember the sweetness of a newborn's smell; the precious delicate breath, the tiny fingers and toes.

 

(Especially when a hulking teenager lurches into the kitchen asking "What's for dinner?"!)

 

Some of us have lost a child, and the echoing sadness reverberates through the day.

 

Remember the sweetness of each day you had, and know that others remember your loved one, too.

 

It was your love who brought that precious life into the world, and taught them to love and share with others.

 

Smile.

 

Hug someone.

 

It's a beautiful day to celebrate.
