Mother’s Day is a time to honor and celebrate mothers. However, this day is not just for mothers. For me, Mother’s Day brings back vivd memories from childhood and reminds me to appreciate the influence my mom has had on my life. My mom has always supported me. When I decided to start a clinic for injured bugs, she encouraged me (she probably laughed hysterically when I left the room). When I wanted to try out for a guy’s basketball team and was turned down, she was frustrated with the people who suggested that I join cheerleading instead. She gave me the freedom to be myself through every phase, hobby, and pursuit. When I was a 4-year-old who loved dresses and toy food, she provided me with dresses and toy food. When I was a tomboy sports nut, she drove me to practices, camps, and games without complaint. Her servant’s heart and joyful giving is a beautiful example. God has blessed me with a wonderful mom. Sometimes I neglect to let her know how much I love and appreciate her. I know you’re reading this Mom, so I just want you to know that God has worked through you in amazing ways. Thanks for giving me just enough independence and for always letting me know that you care. If it wasn’t for you, I don’t know where or who I would be.
