Every year, we have a special recognition of a special person in our life - Mother’s Day. It is not only fitting that we should take at least one day to appreciate all that our mother does or did for us, but, the day allows card companies, florist, and restaurants to make a fortune.
It is amazing what mothers do for us. Without them, where would we be? Who would have fed us, put clothes on us and taught us to go potty. Who would have comforted us when we were sick or when we had a broken heart when the gold fish died. And, who else would love us with a special unconditional love.
For those of us that no longer have our mother with us, it is strange how out thoughts reflect upon something that means something only to you. A something that sums up the role your mother had in your life. Right now of all the millions of things to remember, I think about Thanksgiving. At Thanksgiving dinner every year we always had pumpkin pie. My mother would bake three pies. One for the table, one for me and one for her.
She also would put aside the wishbone from a fried chicken.
Just for me.
