Mother's Day

 We do not give mom's enough credit in our lives.  Or at least, I should say that I have not.  I am 41 years old, going on 42 and I am about 90 percent confident that if it were not for my mother, I might not be here today.  I cannot count the number of times that she saved me from some certain doom with a warning about how dangerous what I was about to do was.  I cannot tell you the number of times I avoided certain behaviors and dangers simply because my mom loved me enough to tell me to avoid them.  She continues to be a fountain of wisdom and knowledge for me.  

I am married to a wonderful mom as well and it is a beautiful thing to see her do for my children what my mom did for me.  It gives me the wonderful hope that there is actually hope that my kids turn out ok, because it were left up to me I think that they would not be the well rounded children that they are. In many respects it is a travesty that we take the time only one day a year to celebrate our moms.  They deserve a lot more.  

So today, if you have a wife and/or a mom that you still have the privilege of talking with - take the time to tell them how much you love them!
