Nobody is more interested in your success than your mother
is. Not even you. Mothers pour their heart, soul, blood, sweat, and tears into
insuring their children are successful. Go to any school honors day, any event
celebrating achievement, or any graduation and the happiest people there are
mothers. Mothers usually also make up the largest part of the audience at these
events. Oh, there are plenty of fathers too, but there are more mothers and they
are clearly more involved with the program. After all, who made you do your
homework, shuttled you back and forth to band practice, and waited for you for
hours at your different events? Your mother. Who packed your lunch, made you
dinner every night, and cleaned up after you? Your mother. Who made sure you
registered for the SAT and ACT on time, made sure you got your college
applications done on time, and made certain that you dotted every I and crossed
every T on every application? Your mother. I could go on, but I believe you see
the point – your mother has more time and energy invested in your success that you do. That is why
your success is the ultimate mother’s day gift. More than anything you can give
her, she wants to see the fruits of her labor lead to a happy and successful
life for her children. So Mom, I am happy, healthy, and financially successful.
Truly, I have received many blessings in my life, but first and foremost, I was
blessed with a great mother.
