I have the best mother in the world. I was born with a congenital heart defect that required 5 surgeries and countless doctors visits all several hours away from our home. I never woke up in the hospital that she wasn’t there beside me. Even when I complained about her snoring when she fell asleep. I never really understood her sacrifice until I was working in a hospital er and watched as a mother stood by and watched as her helpless child was being evaluated. The emotion on her face was what I imagined must have been on my mother’s face all those years ago and what had to have been on Mary’s face as she watched her son’s torment. I thank GOD for giving us mothers. An for giving us his son to take the ultimate torment from us. As most mothers sacrifice for their children His was the ultimate sacrifice.

Thank You GOD for my Mother and especially for your SON!
