I had a difficult time writing on Mother's Day. Not because I am a person that has designed their life to living in the present. But rather I believe that Mother's deserve more than memories. They're growing forward just like we are. It should be more than a 24 hour period, lunch or dinner. A mother needs to hear from you more than you already offer. More importantly you need to be documenting the path your mother helped create so that the generation you put into play has more to hold then what you left with them. I had a difficult time writing on Mother's Day not because I couldn't locate one thousand things to bring back to the surface of the present. I wanted to extend the day beyond what we know it as. To break free of the storms and challenges that moms are associated with. To lift the mountains surrounding our lives and expose the person that held onto one thing you had no control of or over. She made a choice. And in that moment your path began. From that decision look at how many lives you've affected by your brilliant presence in this moment.
