One of my favorite holidays is just around the corner. Of course, I am a MOM! I love having my children pay attention to me :) I enjoy not having to cook (unless my own mother visits and then I want to spoil her with a lovely meal :) It is a time when a mom gets to enjoy being spoiled a bit! By the time Mother's Day rolls around, spring has shown her lovely face and we begin to enjoy a bit of warm weather here in our neck of the woods. And I am a big fan of "honoring" those who have not only given life, but have given so much of their lives and sacrificed to care for their families.
I especially am blessed by the many stories I hear of the way moms have touched a person's life. Special moments and memories etched in our minds and hearts for eternity. Some involve tremendous sacrifice, some as simple as a smile when needed. Other times, a mom was there with a crucial bit of insight at just the perfect time. And others, just the thought of a special meal or event....even a smell that invokes the feelings of never wanting to let go of that moment.
For the next three weeks, I would love to hear from YOU and your special MOM memories! I want to dedicate the days leading up to Mother's Day (May 12th) to remembering and honoring our moms. Actually, you might not even have a memory of your mother, but there has been a mom figure in your life and you would love to share a memory. If you would like to email me your stories (500 words or less), I will review them and then publish them here on the blog. You can give me your first name only (or not), and I will give you credit for your piece. I had a friend a few weeks ago send me the most amazing story of her mom who is no longer with us. That will be one of the first ones I share, along with my own "mom story". A new and creative way to honor your mom this Mother's Day. All it takes is a few moments of your time to put your heart on paper (or computer page :) and send it to me. I would love to hear, maybe shed a tear or two, and even laugh out loud as you remember your momma :)
Actually, when you email, you could attach a photo if you feel comfortable doing that also.
Email stories to DebbyJD@hotmail.com and put in subject line "MY MOM" . Ideally, I would like to post a story a day until Mom's Day, but it will take all of you sending me your memories to make this work.
So here we go...our very own Mother's Day Blog-a-Thon.... get those stories rolling in...
