Hello


How are you guys doing? I hope you’re all fine and enjoying this Blog. Being that we had Mother’s Day last month, I’d like to congratulate all the mothers in the world. Especially, my mom, Annie; my grandma, Toñita; my aunt, Glorín; my sister, Sheylla; Aunt Zory and all my friends who are moms. And last, but not least, to all the moms who are in prison at the moment. May all your hopes, goals, and dreams come true.

Going through old papers, I found a beautiful story about moms that I’d like to share with you now. Here it is!

Sincerely,

P.M.

Why Mothers Cry


“Why are you crying?”, he asked his mom.
“Because I’m a mother”, she told him.
“I don’t understand”, he said.
His mom just hugged him and said, “You never will”.
Later, the little boy asked his father why his mother seemed to cry for no reason.
“All mothers cry for no reason”, was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why mothers cry.

So, he finally put a call to God, and when God got on the phone, the man said, “God, why do mothers cry so easily?” God said, “You see son, when I made mothers, they had to be special. I made their shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gave them an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from their children. I gave them a hardiness that allows them to keep going when everyone else gives up, and to take care of their families, through sickness and fatigue, without complaining. I gave them the sensitivity to love their children under all circumstances, even when their child has hurt them badly. This same sensitivity helps them make a child’s boo-boo feel better and helps them share a teenager’s anxiety and fears. I gave them a tear to shed. It’s theirs exclusively to use whenever it’s needed. It’s their only weakness. It’s a tear for mankind.
