Mothers Day Love

Like most people, I thought my mom was over-reacting because she would cry when she couldn't find me or I got a scratch, bruise or broken bone.

My son has seen these tears and "over-reactions" in his own mother. This picture was taken the day my son, Christopher, was born. I have cried many tears in the last 18 years. The first time he scratched his face, skinned his chubby little knees, two broken bones and the very few times I couldn't find him when he'd gone out to play, the mothers tears, full of fear, fell. At his graduations and his school plays, his Presidential Award for Academic Achievement ceremony, this mothers tears flowed with pride.

As he has grown into a man he has developed his own protective instincts and has learned to appreciate that the tears are a symbol of undying motherly love.

As one of my stepsons put it when he was 4 years old. "She's our mother because she borned us. You're our mom because you love us." Who could ask for greater praise than that?

When the Good Lord was creating mothers, He was into his sixth day of "overtime" when an angel appeared and said, "You're doing a lot of fiddling around on this one."

And the Lord said, "Have you read the specs on this order?

* She has to be completely washable, but not plastic;
* Have 180 movable parts... all replaceable;
* Run on black coffee and leftovers;
* Have a lap that disappears when she stands up;
* A kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg to a disappointed love affair;
* And six pairs of hands."

The angel shook her head slowly and said, "Six pairs of hands... no way."

"It's not the hands that are causing me problems," said the Lord. "It's the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have."

"That's on the standard model?" asked the angel.

The Lord nodded. "One pair that sees through closed doors when she asks, 'What are you kids doing in there?' when she already knows. Another here in the back of her head that sees what she shouldn't but what she has to know, and of course the ones here in front that can look at a child when he goofs up and say, 'I understand and I love you' without so much as uttering a word."

"Lord," said the angel, touching His sleeve gently, "Go to bed. Tomorrow..."

"I can't," said the Lord, "I'm so close to creating something so close to myself. Already I have one who heals herself when she is sick... can feed a family of six on one pound of hamburger... and can get a nine-year-old to stand under a shower."

The angel circled the model of a mother very slowly. "It's too soft," she sighed.

"But she's tough!" said the Lord excitedly. "You cannot imagine what this mother can do or endure."

"Can it think?"

"Not only can it think, but it can reason and compromise," said the Creator.

Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek. "There's a leak," she pronounced. "I told You You were trying to push too much into this model."

"It's not a leak," said the Lord. "It's a tear."

"What's it for?"

"It's for joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, loneliness, and pride."

"You are a genius," said the angel.

The Lord looked somber. "I didn't put it there," He said.
