To 581,000

 For all of us who have reason to celebrate Mother’s Day…For all of us, who can reflect on the moments, the minutia, the memories, the magnificence, magic, and majesty of our MOTHERS, this day collects the good the bad the happy the sad, zigs and zags all of that information into synapse’s headed to our hearts, our brains and our guts. We sigh, suppose, wish and wonder. If our Moms are still alive, we are blessed to hold tightly to the lady who is the core of many of our own existence. Or however, on this day we reach up to the heavens, or inhale the fresh air, hear the crashing of the waves, stand upon a high hill listening for an echo, OR even see a Cardinal or a Butterfly whiz by and shed tears, moan a deep and painful sound, wanting one more chance to say thank you and I love you, to those who have passed on…wishing for more.

Either scenario permits us to recall and remember.

 

But on this Mother’s Day 2021, I want to extend my heart and soul to the 581,000 American’s who had succumbed to the Pandemic. To all of those who were mothers, to all the mothers who lost children, and to all of the friends and family who said goodbye to mothers, this SHOCK of LOSS was in itself a consequence of the selfish and arrogant, the snarky and the sarcastic, and the pitiful fools WHO SADLY, in my estimation, must have never had the real value of a mothers love, empathy, and emotion!
