I tell the story of buying a dress for my Mother’s 59th birthday. Little did I know that she would be wearing it to her funeral.

Now you may wondering why I would share such a personal tale. Because there are plenty of you who have Mothers and ignore them on Mother’s Day. You’re too busy to put any real time into a gift, a special thought, or card.  Maybe you throw her a gift card. I’m telling you that while you have the chance to do more than buy her flowers - DO IT. You’ll be glad you did.

For there to be a shadow there must first be a light…
- The Mom

Mother’s day is May 13th in the US.

I talk about the courage to do the right thing, and the stamina to work through your problems. If you can work through your problems you come out stronger on the other side of them (if you truly work through them and not just push them under the rug).
