PO Box 490407, Everett, MA 02149 Happy Mother’s Day: a gentle nod to moms By Joanie Allbee I t’s been said long ago that “the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world.” The American Poet William Ross Wallace penned such insightful truths about mothers in that powerful statement. Sunday, May 11 sets before us a special time to honor our moms. Let’s reach out and use this day wisely, as we never know if the chance will present itself again. There’s nothing worse than crying a bucket full of tears from the “if onlys” as in, if only I took the time to … (fi ll in the blank). As time transcends forward, the future unfolds in uncertainty. Take the time now for your moms; go pick up some fl owers, make a call, choose a card to send or write a gratitude letter for who she is and all she’s done. This Sunday, my voice will once again echo through grasses, stones and shrubs as mere vibrations drift in an earthy cemetery plot where Mom lies. As I kneel beside her to whisper my goodbyes, I refl ect on one of Mom’s ingrained wisdoms, “Where there is a will, there is a way” – an expression that propelled me forward to seek and fi nd the way, the solutions, rather than focus on the problems. Silent wishes can’t send forth actions to show love. With the gift of fragile time held in your hands, go forth to embrace and express love to your mom.
