Special thanks to Moms everywhere
I’m thankful for my mother and for all the mothers who have cared for me and so many others the world over. I am also thankful my children have me for a mother because I love them dearly and try my best to give them what they need. And for those of us whose mothers have departed from this life, here is a prayer that gives me comfort every time I read it. It is reprinted today in memory of Jennie Doherty and Evelyn Mason—two wonderful mothers I had the privilege to know and love: I remember thee in this solemn hour, my dear mother. I remember the days when thou didst dwell on earth, and thy tender love watched over me like a guardian angel. Thou hast gone from me, but the bond which unites our souls can never be severed; thy image lives within my heart. May the merciful Father reward thee for the faithfulness and kindness thou has shown me; may he lift up the light of his countenance upon thee, and grant thee eternal peace. Amen
