This Sunday is Mother’s Day, a day to celebrate and honor our mothers. On this day, our thoughts naturally turn to all the wonderful and loving things our mothers have done for us throughout the years. We think of the sacrifices they made to feed us, clothe us, and educate us. We think of the unconditional love they shown us when we were being bratty little kids, and the patience and worry they had for us when we were growing up. For some, we feel a sadness that our mothers are no longer with us, but we rejoice in knowing their memories and unending love are still with us every day. One of the best gifts a mother can receive is your unconditional love. Happy Mother’s Day.
