Mother's Day

Mother's Day is more than just an other commercial holiday, yes I know it is a great business day for the flower industries, restaurants, and any other businesses catering to women. But, most of all it is one of those special days where your family gathers together to remember and create special moments.

I have been blessed with three great kids that are now on a journey of starting their own families. This year we have a new addition to our family, baby Brooke was born last March and soon, around November, there will be an other addition.

Today was a reunion of mothers, grand-mothers and mothers to be, we celebrated together what it was and is like to carry a child within, to give birth, to watch his or her first step, to dream all that is possible and to love like you could never imagine you could. Yes today was a special day, one of those days when you feel proud, a day to be happy, grateful to be alive. This is a day when you make time for the people you love. Yes, I know, we shouldn't wait for a specific day to do that, however our fast paste living swallows us up and turns us into robots, sleep, eat, work, eat and back to sleep. We had to invent a bunch of holidays to remind us that we are alive and that we have families and friends we love but hardly spend time with. I wish we had invented more special days.

A great day, yes it was!
