Why are you crying, a young boy asked his Mom?
“Because I’m a woman,” she told him.
“I don’t understand,” he said.
His Mom just hugged him and said,
“And you never will, but that’s O.K
.”…
Later the little boy asked his father,
“Why does Mom seem to cry for no reason?”.
“All women cry for no reason,” was all his Dad could say…
The little boy grew up and became a man,
still wondering why women cry.
Finally he put in a call to God and when God got back to him, he asked “God, why do women cry so easily?”
GOD answered….
“When I made woman,
I decided she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet, made her arms gentle enough to give comfort…
I gave her the inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times will come even from her own children.
I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going and take care of her family and friends, even when everyone else gives up, through sickness and fatigue without complaining.
I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all
circumstances. Even when her child has hurt her badly.
She has the very special power to make a child’s boo-boo feel better and
to quell a teenager’s anxieties and fears.
I gave her strength to care for her husband, despite faults
and I fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but
sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him
unfalteringly.
For all of this hard work,
I also gave her a tear to shed. It is hers to use
whenever needed and it is her only weakness…
You see my son,” said God, “the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides.
(Adapted)
So when you see her cry, tell her how much you love her, and all she does for everyone,and even though she may still cry, you will have made her heart feel good.
Mots!
(Yep, strangely, thats what I call my Mum :) )
I never thought I’d hear myself saying this, but THANK YOU. Because if you hadn’t been there, I never would have learned that my worst day could also have been my best. Because it was you who taught me that when a heart breaks, it also opens; and once a heart opens any number of things can happen, and some of them can be wonderful. I’m glad. You are one of those beautiful things that happened to my life and made my life worthwhile.
Yes, today, i accept, that I LOVE TO IRRITATE YOU! The way those eyebrows rise in suspicion when I force you out of the room, oh boy! Something inside me goes all evil.. ;)
Your constant nagging about GUYS, the way you think I'm going out with ALL the guys I talk to. You instantaneous 'CID' instincts. Your random comments, your -'sucking-to-the-core driving skills'... EVERYTHING about you is just so, unique!
There is no one else in the world quite like you. You are special. There never has been and there never will be anyone like you again.
So, you listen, please be careful with your life… there is someone out there that cannot imagine living without you.
Thank you for being part of my life.
Happy Mother’s day to all the moms in the world :)
