Remembering …

Doyce Eileen (Watson) Waters

October 11, 1931 — January 18, 2019

Five years ago I received an expected yet saddening phone call from my brother. I was working when I received the call that my mother had passed.

My mom and I were not close after I became an adult and was on my own. I was felt she favored my brother and his family. I harbored ill feelings for the longest time towards my mother. I guess you could say I was jealous of the close relationship I felt she had with my brother and his family. I felt she spent much more time with his family and only gave me and my family a few minutes of her time. To me it seemed she cared more about them and even my dad’s sister’s family more than she cared about me.

Regardless of how I felt about her as an adult, she was still my mother. She is here any longer, I can’t let her know how I felt. I was never open with her about my thoughts and feelings. Sometimes I wish I had felt like I could have been open with her and closer. You can never get back the time lost with loved ones. Regrets can never be taken back once loved ones are no longer with us. I still think about my mom, especially on her birthday.

CHERISH EVERY MOMENT AND EVERY PERSON IN YOUR LIFE, BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE THE LAST TIME YOU SEE SOMEONE.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Mother’s Day is meant to honor and celebrate the unconditional love of a mother. It is celebrated in many countries around the world on the second Sunday of May every year. This year it falls on May 14th.

Did you know that the ancient Greeks and Romans used to celebrate festivals honouring mother goddesses such as Rhea and Cybele. ( I did not know this about them). The ancient festivals were held in the springtime and were dedicated to motherhood and fertility.

Our current tradition of celebrating Mother’s Day in the United States was designated in a proclamation by President Woodrow Wilson in 1914. It declared the second Sunday of every May as Mother’s Day. Many people choose to give cards, flowers, or other heartfelt gestures to show their appreciation, affection, and gratitude for their mothers or the significant person who demonstrated mother like qualities toward them.

“The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.” 

Honoré de Balzac

Most cards contain famous quotes or sayings regarding mother’s or motherhood, however they may not confer how you really feel. The words that touch a mother’s heart the most are the words that come straight from the heart.

My mother and I were never friends and never close after I became an adults on was living in my own. I never felt like she liked me or approved of anything I ever did in my life. Even though I felt that way I still knew, in her own way, she loved me. I cannot express any heartfelt appreciation, gratitude, or love to her on this earth, but I can still remember her & try to honour her.

Wishing all the
mothers everywhere
a blessed &
Happy Mother’s Day!
