If you are one of those grumps who claims that celebratory occasions like Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day are the evil spawn of capitalist greeting card and floral interests, I’d suggest you put aside your proletarian outrage this weekend and acquire some perspective. If it weren’t for mothers, none of us would be here.
The gift of existence alone should more than merit a celebratory thank-you once a year. So altogether now, "Thank you, Mom!"
Take an old man's advice: Keep your mother in your life as long as possible. You will find that she will be in your heart long after she has departed this earth, Even with the occasional disagreements, having the real thing to talk to is so much better than having a fading memory in your prayers.
