"Mother's Day"

Mother's Day...it's such a blessed day because it celebrates everything that is all inclusive about Mom! It begins with the woman. History has its stories of women being treated as second class citizens, to be there every second only for the satisfaction of the man while, at the same time, never receiving the respect and true honor they deserve. Causes me to ask myself if these "men" actually understood exactly where they came from.

Women were not created to be second in line but more like second to none. They are more than a mere receptacle for our sperm and to give "us" children. What about giving "her" children? They are more than our chefs in the kitchen. Why not cook for her? They are more than our housekeepers. Why not clean up after ourselves so she can have time for herself, time that we, as men, take for granted, time that she so richly deserves. They are more than our nurses that take care of us men when we feel bad and whine like the child we become when we are ill. Take care of her when she feels bad for whatever reason. It's the right thing to do.

Women go through hell and back in childbirth. Some actually die while giving birth. I can't think of one man in all history that has ever lost his life while giving birth to a child!  So, tell me...Why is it, even now, that some cultures and societies still see the woman as second class? They deserve much more than they are given. They deserve our respect.

To all the women in the world, whether you are a mother or not, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
