HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!

"The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness. When you become a mother, you are no longer the center of your own universe. You relinquish that position to your children" We felt that these words spoke true to the meaning of motherhood. It is important for us to state that this day is for all mothers in every way. Although we tend to reflect on the biological aspect of the word, it has transcended that. Motherhood is the ability to love,give and teach a child or children in an unselfish way. It is giving and loving without ever expecting. Based on that definition it would then include;mothers,grandmothers,great grandmothers,aunts,sisters,friends,godmothers,teachers and every female that has ever given and loved you unconditionally without expecting. Mothering requires love!!!!! Our mother always told us that on the day she found out that she was pregnant it stopped being about her, all she wanted to do was ensure that everything that she did was to ensure that the child she was carrying was healthy and strong. As a child I couldn't understand these words, how could she start thinking only about the child if she had never even seen or known this child. Granted one point that child was me:-) still I never understood it, why had she taken herself out of the equation, how could she be so selfless to someone she had never met? The answer was simple, she was in love with the person she was chosen to create and she was willing to give her all to that life in that moment and for the rest of her life. I still am not yet a mother in the biological sense, but I am now honored to say that i understand my mothers words and have heard them echoed numerous times by many other mothers. Loving begins in the womb or on the first day you set eyes on the child you know you will love. Mothers never ask how or why,they just continuously do because it's what they know how to do, it is also what they will continue to do irrespective of how old we are:-) Family you know we have no secrets so we have to share. Our mom was here with us for an early mothers day celebration and I happened to be coughing while in the restaurant, our mom suggested I put on my jacket and was asking if "I was catching a cold because my shoulders were exposed and the temperature had dropped" :-)It never gets old. Our grandmother always held my mom's hand while crossing the street. Our other grandmother always made sure to stand beside our dad while he ate fish if we had dinner at her house. They will always be our mothers and in their eyes we will always be their babies no matter how old we are or how many children they have. Today we want to celebrate this special day with all the MOTHERS in our life. We want you all to know that we LOVE you, we THANK YOU for being SELFLESS,for SACRIFICING,for GIVING,for TAKING YOURSELVES OUT OF THE EQUATION and for LOVING US UNCONDITIONALLY before you even saw us. We are forever in your debt and we are humbled and honored to call you MOM,MOTHER,MOMMY,MOMS,GRANDMA,AUNTY,GRANNY,SIS,SISTER& everything in between HAPPY MOTHERS DAY AND ENJOY THIS YOUR SPECIAL DAY!!!!!!
