Happy Mother's Day!

Having been raised in Mexico, for me today is Mother's Day and the women in my life will not let me forget that. So lets take a step back and give our mom's a hug. I'm VERY fortunate to still have my mom. She's still running around, busy little bee that I've always known.

Mother's Day is always a day of mixed feelings for me. It is a day to symbolically recognize the toil, sacrifice and sometimes suffering that our mothers, wifes and daughters go thru. As men, we will never be able to fully understand the selflessness that comes with being a mother.

Today was especially mellancolic for me. Although many moons have passed, I had my grandmother in my mind. She was a woman of character and a symbol of living life to it's fullest. Having given birth to seven children, raised six to adult hood, sixteen grandchildren she was the perenial matriarch. I wish I could hug her one last time. I miss her.

Happy Mother's Day!
