To all the moms out there

I want to wish you all a very Happy Mother's Day.

 

For most of us in my age group (I will be 70 next month) our mothers have passed away. Mine died at the age of 64. Way too young.

 

Mothers, in my opinion, have one of the hardest jobs in the world and it takes a lot of fortitude, stamina, integrity, grit, humor, heart and too many other traits to list here, to be a really good mom.

 

But most of all, it takes a lot of love. Total and unconditional love. Because as long as children know that they are loved, that is half the battle to making sure they feel they matter and are supported.

 

Too many children lack that love and support which often causes a lifetime of sadness and emotional trauma.

 

So to all the moms who have children, to all the children who still have their moms and to all the adults who have their moms, feel lucky. If you've lost your mom, like me and many others, we can at least hold on to the memories and the good times and smile while we think of her. We never forget our moms.
