Mother’s Day is fast approaching, and I just wanted to take the opportunity to wish each and every one of our Gator Moms a delightful Mother’s Day weekend. This is a weekend to congratulate yourself on a variety of pretty important contributions you’ve made such as:
• The miracle of giving birth to another human being
• Teaching another person your unique values in life that will continue to resonate through the ages
• Being the “rock” for your family so they feel secure in the knowledge that you will always be there, through good and bad times
• Providing a safe haven for another individual to grow, learn, make mistakes and formulate an identity where they know you will unconditionally love them no matter what
• Providing support to another individual so they know someone always has “their back”
• Helping build and sustain the character of the leaders of tomorrow
So the next time you feel like all you ever do or ever did as a mom was make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, chauffer, clean up, nag, etc. realize that you are doing or have done so much more than that. Mothers tend to get caught up in the everyday, mundane task of parenting and fail to realize the awesome role they play in shaping our world through their rearing of our beautiful children.
