Mother's Day

Let's start this with a definition.

Mother
A woman exercising control, influence, or authority like that of a mother: to be a mother to someone.

Mother's day is a day to honor and celebrate mothers. But there shouldn't have to be a special day set aside for that. We should honor and celebrate mothers everyday. They do so much for us.

Yesterday I was really thinking about how many people are sad on mothers day. It's a reminder for people who lost their mothers, and mothers who lost their children. It's also a sad day for people who don't have good relationships with their mothers and vice versa.

The only time I saw my mom yesterday was when I passed her on the interstate going the other direction. Other than that, I didn't see her at all. But I still love her. Just because I didn't do anything special for her on Mother's day doesn't mean I love her any less.

Mother's day also made me think of all the wonderful women in my life who have been like moms to me at some point in my life. There have been so many. I greatly appreciate all of them.

This post is kind of short, but oh we'll. That's really all I have to say on the matter as of right now.
