A Note On Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day - it's a day of deep appreciation to the person that made life possible for each of us. Some - have complicated relationships with their mother. We often forget in our rise from youth to adulthood that our parents are filled with the same turbulence of thought and emotion that has afflicted us all since the dawn of time. A mothers love is both imperfect and perfection itself. It is the best they have to offer and still fraught with the difficulties of a well lived life. When we can come to terms with their imperfection of simply being human we will see the perfection of the love they have always offered. My mother was far from perfect - but she was beautiful, caring, giving and loving. She was my mother and she judged me, scolded me, taught me, nursed me and held me. My mother loved me - and in this love there was perfection.

Happy Mothers Day Mom.

I love you,
Eric

Dear Eric,
I enjoyed reading your beautiful, deep reflections on Mother's Day and your tribute of love to your Mom.

Yes, love is the common denominator that makes every Mom in the world so very special.
Thinking now of our Mothers in heaven who continue to love us from Above. What a gift, oh so precious!

Love and hugs.
Margherita
