Mother's Day
Happy Mother's Day. I've been thinking a lot about mothers these days, especially my own. She's a gentle mother overall, but stern when she needs to be. I often felt she was too gentle on me and my siblings, but who am I to judge something like that. She's so forgiving of us. We could do anything wrong and she will find a way to create gentle lesson out of it. As I grow older, I realize more and more that her endless forgiveness is her way of instilling a sense of kindness, love, and community into us. My mom always gives the benefit of the doubt to us and to others. She is a mother to my siblings, myself, and so many others. Happy Mother's Day. I will see you on Sunday and your coming birthday.
