A Mother’s Day Gift

As we look ahead to another Mother's Day I remember my mother telling me on one of the many occasions we would gaze at the stars over our family’s cottage that she had often thought since her own mother’s passing that brightest star was my grandmother watching over her.

I have never forgotten it and believe we should take time to reflect upon our most cherished memories, because whether your mother is still with you or not, she will always live in your heart.

So for those still fortunate enough to have their mothers I wish you and yours a very Happy Mother's Day, and for those who are not as blessed this is for you. I pray its promise provides belief, faith and hope.

Richard Lawrence Belford is the author of It’s Not Goodbye, It’s See You Later; a collection of inspirational parables. A parable is a symbolic short story that illustrates or teaches some truth, religious principle or moral lesson.
