Sunday Morning Tales - Mother's Day

Behind every smiling kid is a hardworking mom!!! The only person in our lives which will be there forever, without asking anything... She is always happy with our happiness, she cries more than we do in our sadness and her warm hug is capable to make us forget all of our problems... Even if it's been about 14 years I have lost my mom, I feel she continues standing by me every day protecting me in everything I do; She's my angel! I still remember her sweet smile and her warm hug!!! 

I think that Paulo Coelho's words for mother's creation, describe her in the best way! 

When the Good Lord was creating mothers, He was into his sixth day of "overtime" when an angel appeared and said: "You’re doing a lot of fiddling around on this one."

And the Lord said: "Have you read the specs on this order? She has to be completely washable, but not plastic; Have 180 movable parts… all replaceable; Run on black coffee and leftovers; Have a lap that disappears when she stands up; A kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg to a disappointed love affair; And six pairs of hands."

The angel shook her head slowly and said: "Six pairs of hands… no way."

"It’s not the hands that are causing me problems," said the Lord. "It’s the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have."

"That’s on the standard model?" asked the angel.

The Lord nodded.

"One pair that sees through closed doors when she asks, ’What are you kids doing in there?’ "Another here in the back of her head that sees what she shouldn’t but what she has to know. And of course the ones here in front that can look at a child when he goofs up and say, ’I understand and I love you’ without so much as uttering a word."

"Lord," said the angel, touching His sleeve gently, "Go to bed. Tomorrow…"

"I can’t," said the Lord, "I’m so close to creating something so close to myself. Already I have one who heals herself when she is sick …can feed a family of six on one pound of hamburger … and can get a nine-year-old to stand under a shower."

The angel circled the model of a mother very slowly. "It’s too soft," she sighed.

"But she’s tough!" said the Lord excitedly. "You cannot imagine what this mother can do or endure."

"Can she think?"

"Not only can she think, but she can reason and compromise," said the Creator.

Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek. "There’s a leak," she said. "I told You were trying to push too much into this model. It’s not a leak," said the Lord. "It’s a tear."

"What’s it for?"

"It’s for joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, loneliness, and pride."

And the Mother was created – a work of genius.

Happy MOTHER'S DAY!!! Don't forget tell your mothers' how much you love them!!!
