Clarksdale, Mississippi – Mother’s Day is a special time set aside each year to celebrate the women who give us life, love, and lasting strength. On the second Sunday in May, we pause to honor not only the mothers who are still with us, but also those who live on in memory—guiding our hearts from beyond.
For many, Mother’s Day is filled with hugs, laughter, and sweet traditions—breakfast in bed, handmade cards, or quiet moments shared over a phone call or family meal. It’s a chance to say “thank you” for the sacrifices, the lessons, and the unconditional love that mothers so freely give.
But for others, this day carries a tender ache. It’s a day of remembrance for the moms who have passed away—women whose presence is deeply missed but whose impact is still felt every single day. Their love continues in the values they instilled, the memories they made, and the legacy they left behind.
Whether you’re celebrating a mother, grandmother, stepmom, foster mom, or another nurturing figure, Mother’s Day is a time to honor all expressions of motherhood. It’s also a time to recognize the strength of those who carry their mother’s memory with them, finding comfort in photos, favorite recipes, old voicemails, or simply in quiet reflection.
So this Mother’s Day, let us celebrate every mother—in life and in spirit. Let us give flowers to those who are near, and light candles for those who are far. Let us offer love and appreciation not just with gifts, but with our presence, our stories, and our gratitude.
To the moms who hold our hands, and the ones who forever hold our hearts—Happy Mother’s Day.
