Happy Mother's Day

Hey ladies and gents. It's after 1 a.m. pacific time on Mother's Day, and I'm up on the computer. LOL. Funny.

Anyway, before I do this post, I would just like to say that I lost two readers (bummer), but I'm not sad or distraught by it. To those that lost interest in reading my blog posts, I'm sorry that your reading experience here at Bittersweet Times wasn't all you had hoped for it to be, but if you are to come back again, the door is always open. No hard feelings.

Okay, so of course it's Mother's Day. This is a time where everybody celebrates their mother(s), grandmother(s), sisters, nieces (whom have kids), cousins (whom have kids), etc. And for some, it's also a time for people who grieve the loss of their mother, because they don't have them to share this day with. Even though my mother is still living, I understand how losing your mother is the biggest blow to your heart and world. For those of you out there whom have lost your mother, I extend my condolences and pray that your day will be filled with all the loving memories that you had of your mother.

I would like to take this time to give a shot out to all the mothers out there whom have held it down on the homefront. Married mothers as well as single mothers. I'm also talking to mothers whom are worthy of being called a mother. Now don't get anything misconstrued when I say this, because there are some out there who don't know the meaning of what being a mother is. Just like I'm sure most of you caught that video of one mother running around butt-naked shaking a tailfeather for a camera and her poor child was in the room when all of this was going down. WHAT IN THE SAM HILL WAS SHE THINKING? What in the hell posessed her to do what she did? It's one thing when you do "adult" things in the privacy (and locked at that) of your own bedroom, let alone your own home. But dammit, NOT IN FRONT OF THE KIDS!

Anyway, I won't go into a full blown rant about that trollop. Moving along. As I was saying, there are some mothers whom aren't worthy of being called or given the title. I'm not saying that I'm the best mother in the whole wide world, because I'm not. I've made some dumb ass mistakes in the time I've become a single parent. But thank God, that time has come and gone, and I wish never to go back to it again. I just want to let those young women whom are coming into the parenting game know that since you are a mother now, you gotta be on your toes 24/7. When it comes to relationships, friends, strangers, associates, whomever, whenever, whatever. BE AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND YOU. And especially when it comes to relationships with men, MAKE SURE YOU KEEP WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT AT THE FOREFRONT OF YOUR PRIORITIES. Like I told someone not too long ago, "Hoes (yes, men can be those, too) come and go, but children are for life". Had I gotten my own advice about this 10 years ago to present, I wouldn't have dealt with half or all of the hoes that have come and gone in my life. For those single mothers, my heart goes out to each and every one of you whom are being mother and father at the same time. Sure some situations have dealt us a bad hand (even if we dealt it ourselves), but we gotta make the best of bad situations and move forward for the health, sake and welfare of our children. They depend on us to be there even if daddy isn't around.

Alright ladies and gents, not trying to get into soapbox mode, but just sending out a message to the mothers (since this is our day to shine for a cool one). LOL. Don't worry fellas, for those of you whom are fathers, I have a message for y'all on Father's Day as well. Just breathe a sigh of relief, I'm not here to bash any one of you. I want to be the voice to uplift you, and celebrate you as a man and father that is holding it down.

SO TO ALL THE MOTHERS: HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY AND GOD BLESS YOU WITH MANY MORE.

Until next post,
Peace & Blessings,
Untouched Jewel
