Hope that all of the Mothers are having a great day. This is for the women who have physically given birth to a child and those who have not.
A mother can be someone who gives you good sound advice or good words of wisdom. So whether you are a favorite Aunt, a sister or a good friend those motherly qualities are in you.

Jt's Mother Graduating from High School, before heading to San Francisco

My mother went to be with the Lord in 1994 but her words of wisdom are with me each and everyday. I thank God for my mother and my grandmother. My childhood was not perfect, but what childhood is perfect. Nevertheless my childhood was a good one, and I thank my mother for instilling in me those values and seeds of wisdom. I cherish them.
My mother taught me to strive for the best and to never compare myself to other people. She would say, “God made only one of you baby; and he broke the mold after that so there’s no need to compare.” So every time I think that the grass is greener on the other side, I think of her saying that to me.
Mother’s Day use to be tough and it’s still not easy for me because I miss my mother, my grandmother and my daddy.
However, now I realize that I have so much to be thankful for. Even though I miss them I know that they would want me to strive for the best in life and carry on. So on this Sunday, May 9th, 2011.

Happy Mother’s Day!
