How much it has meant to me being a mom.
I know that Mother’s Day is all about the mom and when mine
was alive I made sure that I sent her a card (and hopefully conveyed to her
throughout her lifetime and all my visits, how much she meant to me).
We were not a hugging, kissing, flowery words type of family
– something that I have had to work on as an adult and mother (not always
successfully), but this Mother’s Day one son will be in Africa and the other in
Peru so instead of expecting them to be showering me with flowers, cards and
the like, this is a tribute to them.
I still am not quite sure how I became so privileged as to
have two sons who not only try not to harm anyone or anything but actually
actively seek to help others.
No, they are not always paragons of virtue, but their main
stance in life looks outwards, considers the happiness of those around them and
in their professional lives leads to more helping (volunteering, humanitarian
missions) than many (myself included).
So, sons, I am grateful to have you and wish you only that,
which will allow you to fulfill your “life’s mission” as you see it – may this
Mother’s Day let you feel – albeit from a distance – all the love and respect
that I have for you.
“Bisous”
Mom
