The Mantle of Motherhood
Mother's Day is celebrated in May. This particular celebration day has already come and gone for this year, but when I started writing this post it had only been a few days past. I love Mother's Day. I know it's a made-up holiday (or so says my child) and a mother really should be celebrated every day, but when the actual holiday rolls around, I tend to think about "Moms" a whole lot more. It also makes me miss mine so very much. The whole week before Mother's Day, I found myself reflecting, remembering, reminiscing about all the mothers in my life. I felt so grateful, so blessed and I really was one very lucky little girl, teenage girl, college girl, young married girl, long time married girl and now a divorced girl. Some women were only in my life for a season, and others were or have been there for my whole life. There are a very few who are STILL with me. I just want to talk about them for a few minutes. Thinking about them makes me happy. My mother,
