Mother’s Day doesn’t come around in Nicaragua until May 30th but Nicas have the right idea and celebrate mothers for the entire month. And moms deserve it…at least an entire month.
Even though I’m away from my mom this Mother’s Day, I think my time away has helped me realize the pure and awesome "amazingness" that she is. Though I’m all the way in Jinotega, she has made sure that home does not feel so far. I’m never short of moisturizers, chocolate covered matzo, or games and crafts because she never fails at getting a package out to me just when I need it. I’ve called her with good news and with sad news, and no matter what the topic, I always come away feeling better than I did before talking to her. Her support has helped me to finish my Peace Corps service, for a while I didn’t think I could or that I wanted to…but even though I know she would have preferred it if I just came home, her support made it ok to stay. Sometimes I don't think she realizes just how important she is to me.
I love you and miss you, mom and cant wait to see you in July!
To GRANDmoms too!...
To moms we're really missing...
To surrogate moms taking care of us when we're away from home...
To lots of moms for holding big families together...
So let’s take a cue from Nicaragua and continue celebrating moms for the entire month of May…because aren’t moms just the best.
