When I was a child the sky was a song” – Jan Zwicki
Sunday is the day we celebrate our mothers, expressing our heartfelt gratitude to them and our mother figures including:- step-mothers, mothers-in-law, foster parents and family friends. The women who took time and effort to help us through life’s challenges and cheer on our successes. We now look back fondly on that unwanted advice, realising that she was right & experience counted for something!
“Home is where the heart is” and for most of us our mothers are synonymous with home”. Nowadays many daughters have longer staying home/ returning home with mothers as they complete further expensive education and the cost of rent is too high to live away from home. This part of 2021 growing up has been aptly titled “twilight adolescence”!
I don’t believe that any of us sons and daughters ever appreciate what an adjustment comes with parenthood, how much love our parents had for us and what a huge multitasking job it is to be a mother….until we too become one!
So mothers….as you enjoy being woken up by the 8 year old with the boiled egg, or the family brunch, or putting the carnations in a vase…remember the love that comes with them and…that you earned that love and trust.
For the mothers too far away to visit in person, can’t even bump elbows, enjoy the screen calls, the love and laughs still shared. A mother’s love knows no boundaries and can travel far. And, as we are so often told these days – “this will not last for ever”, even as the months go by.
Have a wonderful Sunday however you are celebrating.
