Mom, Thank You For Being Here Today, Tomorrow And Always
Mom, thank you for being there in any way you can. Through unconditional support, absolute confidence, this look which, since my childhood, has given me security and encouragement to forge my way in life. The way I want and the way I choose. Thank you for being like that summer breeze which always offers calm, which awakens happiness and invites inspiration.
It is undoubtedly a gift that a mother gives birth to these sensations in us. Behind a “good mother”, there is in fact a wonderful person, someone with an exceptional human trajectory who knew how to take care of himself, who knows his values and his goals to always give the best to his own children. .
Washington Irvin said that “a mother will always strive to dispel those dark clouds that from time to time hover above us, getting there little by little, peace returns to our hearts. ”
This is true, but in reality, if there is anything these women manage to leave a mark on what their children accomplish, it is to teach them to clear those momentary clouds themselves. .
Because mothers don’t just have this classic role of nurturing affection, love. They educate, correct, know how to set limits, inspire by example and do not hesitate to open the way so that at the right time, their children advance by themselves in the world to choose the destiny they decide for themselves. themselves.
Mother’s Day, a multicultural origin
Mother’s Day is celebrated during the first days of May. For many, it’s little more than a marketing-focused vacation in department stores. For the others, a special moment to share with the family.
However, it is interesting to know that this day has been celebrated since the dawn of time. And, more precisely, since the Old Kingdom in Egypt.
There, the goddess Isis, creator of life, goddess of magic and protector of children and women was worshiped every year. Also in ancient Greece, there was a holiday related to the figure of the mother.
In this case, the Greeks worshiped Rhea, mother of Zeus, Hades, god of the underworld, of Poseidon, Hestia, Hera and Demeter. She was a titan and it was common for Hellenic culture to associate her with the Moon.
Later, with the arrival of Christianity, the festival began to focus on the figure of the Virgin Mary. However, it was not until the 19th century that the holiday was set for May because of two very specific characters, that of the American poet and activist Julia Ward Howe and that of Ann Jarvis.
They staged protests to reconcile the two sides in the American Civil War. Thus, they managed to bring women closer to all those mothers who had been victims of the conflict.
Each year, Julia Ward and Ann Jarvis brought them together again to make the event a vehicle for peace, hope and the defense of women’s rights. Both succeeded in establishing Mother’s Day 1914 in May.
