MOTHERS DAY!

Mother’s Day is here again this year when we honor all mothers, and that also includes grandmothers as well. Because they were our mother’s mother and still are mothers that care for their grandchildren like they were their own. The first Mother’s Day recognition was observed in Greece, centuries ago, so it is apparent that people of all ages honored their mothers forever, and there is good reason to do so.

At this time of year MOTHER NATURE is waking up and it won’t be long before she will be nurturing offspring in your flower beds for a new generation who will grow and develop to maturity ready to please everyone concerned. The attention pays off in the fall when her beautiful blooms show the result of her efforts.

It’s not much different than our own families. Our mothers must talk to the children, praise them for their efforts and reward them with love and affection. They have spent a good share of their lives in caring, feeding them, teaching them how to live in society and help them with their basic education. Education begins at home.

How important is that? How many fathers would or could raise their children? Fathers must work to earn a living for the family, provide everything from food and clothing to daily expenses. The family depends on the Mother to give the loving attention that’s necessary and she depends on father for his help and affection too.

So now is the time to show her we love her, for what she has done, for what she has had to do to make everyone proud of the children and to bring them to adulthood and get them installed in public life to start the process all over again for the next generation. So they can be mothers too.

Now is the time to buy a present to show her you care, a present to reward her for what she has done. The time is here for some new clothing, a great night out, it’s time for flowers, and the flower for Mother’s Day is CARNATION. A big box of candy will help if she gets to it before the rest of the family. And the most important event is your display of LOVE

My friend Ole says. Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker. Yaah sure Ole.

Mother’s Day is one of the most important days of the year it shows the love of building a family to be proud of as they age and move on to form the next generation. Now go over to your Mother. She likes to cuddle and hug, so give her a big hug and tell her “I love you sweetheart”. She’s the best. Right Dave?
