HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Pro-yiayia 1982

Once you become a mother, it is an experience and identity which never leaves you.  The relationship between parent and child is full of feelings of maternal protection, and  child's dependency.  Mutual emotional dependencies persists throughout lives.

Oft said, we can pick our friends buy not our relatives.  If you have been lucky, your mother will be a role model, a good feedback person, and her love will help her child to grow with self-confidence.  We are not all so fortunate because mothers are the products of their own mothers who may not have been prepared for the responsibilities themselves.  Ignorant, political men and women who know nothing of what it takes to raise a mentally healthy, secure  confidant child, healthy and well-nurtured, are preventing mothers' abilities to plan by whom, when and if to have a child.

Ignoring the Constitution which makes a clear demand for separation of church and state,  these hypocritical people who think they are speaking for God, want smaller government when it means taking care of the poor, educating and feeding children, keeping a roof over their heads and warmth enough to stay healthy, are committing the most heinous grievances to our country and the welfare of our citizens.

On this Mother's Day, I can only hope that mothers will unite to save their children, born and unborn, and vote these individuals out of state and federal offices in the next elections..
