This Mother’s Day, I reflect upon my life and all of the women in my family who have had an enormous impact in my life. Amongst these women are my mom, my grandmother, and my aunts! Each one of these women has played a significant role in my life.
Since the year that my grandmother has passed, my mom has organized a mass, at a local church, for her every Mother’s Day, of which the entire family attends. Thereafter, they all go to my grandmother’s burial site and sit and mingle, it’s a way that we all feel like we can still spend time with this incredible woman that we all loved so much. My grandmother loved mariachi music, so aside from being with her on such an important occasion, they also get mariachis to sing at her burial site. I love these special moments and I wish that I could have been there to celebrate this Mother’s Day with all of these incredible women, but since I could not, I am thinking of them and wishing each of them a very Happy Mother’s Day. I think that you all are extremely remarkable women and I love each of you dearly.
I hope that all of you who are mothers know that you are so important to your children and that you too will have such an enormous impact upon your own children, and grandchildren. I appreciate all of the mom’s out there, because your job, as a mother, is extremely important and difficult all at the same time. This job requires unconditional love, patience, sacrifice, and so much more. I hope that someday, when I become a mother, I will be at least half of the mother that my mom and grandmother were to me!
