I guess I am now only blogging on Holidays now...Next time you hear from me will be Memorial Day (just kidding)!
Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms who read my blog...I am guessing it is just my mom so Happy Mothers Day Mom!! I don't reveal identities on my blog so I won't post a picture of her...but if I look like her in 40 I mean 30 years I will consider myself lucky!
Happy Mothers Day to my grandmothers even though I really doubt they read this blog!
Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers...you don't have to physically have a child to be a mother and I know there are mothers celebrating their very first Mothers Day through adoption this year! There are also mothers who are celebrating Mothers Day for the first time without their child and just remember they are a mother also so it is okay to say Happy Mothers Day to them.
Anyway I do have some inspirational mothers to post videos of...
The first is a mother I saw on Oprah. She is Mormon, has four children and was in a plane crash that left her in a comma for three months. She is alive now but she does not look anything like she did before the plane crash. Bring out the tissues!
Here is also her clip on Oprah.
Another mother Sally Goodrich decided when her son was killed on 9/11 she would have to find a new mission in life if she wanted to continue to live. She decided to build schools in Afghanistan (video). You can read about her here.
Rachel Moyer lost her fifteen year old son after he collapsed at a basketball game of cardiac arrest. She started a nonprofit group, Parent Heart Watch, that's paid for more than 1,000 defribillators and lobbies states to require them in schools. Twelve states now do including Massachusetts. In fact referee Bob Schriever at a Wellesley football game was saved by a defibrillator when he fell to the ground in cardiac arrest.
I need to get back to studying but just remember to say Happy Mothers Day to your Mother today and even to all the other mothers you know in your life!
To leave you with a mothers day quote:
Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own. – Aristotle
