"One day, a young boy asked his Mom, 'Why are you crying?' '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 OK.'
"Later the little boy asked his father, 'Why does Mom seem to cry for no reason?' 'All women sometimes 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. 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 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 have 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-b00 feel better and to quell a teenager's anxieties and fears.'
"I gave her strength to care for her husband despite his 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 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 is her only weakness. 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. KNOW THAT SHE IS SPECIAL!"
For all of the special traits of a Mother, I found an alphabet of listings that will still be incomplete. You have the right to add to this following listing:
A - ADMIRED, ACHIEVER
B - BEAUTIFUL, BOUNTIFUL IN LOVE
C - CREATIVE, CHALLENGER, COURAGEOUS
D - DEDICATED, DIGNIFIED
E - EFFICIENT, ENTERPRISING
F - FAITHFUL, FRUITFUL
G - GRACIOUS, GRATEFUL
H - HEALTHY, HUMOROUS
I - INGENIOUS, INSPIRATIONAL
J - JOYFUL, JOVIAL
K - KINDNESS
L - LOVABLE, LOVING
M - MATURE, MATERNAL
N - NURTURING
O - OPEN, OPPORTUNIST
P - PIOUS, PERSEVERING
Q - QUIET, QUEENSHIP
R - RESPECTFUL, RESPECTED
S - SINCERE, SMILING
T - TEACHER, TRUSTWORTHY
U - UNDERSTANDING
V - VIRTUOUS, VICTORIOUS, VENTURESOME
W - WISDOM, WITTY
X - eXTRORDINARY...BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY
Y - YOUTHFUL
Z - ZEALOUS, ZENITH
Imagine the titles that Mothers seem to assume as an intregal part of their special mission in our challenging world:

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL MOTHERS WORLDWIDE AS OUR IDES OF MAY 2008 ACHIEVEMENT LADDER AWARD RECIPIENTS. "Thanks Mom for the gifts of life and love, it is great to be alive."
Since Mothers' Day is everyday throughout the year, this following prayer may be fitting and appropriate to share with you:
"THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON ON EARTH IS A MOTHER"
The Most Important Person on Earth is a Mother. She cannot claim the honor of having built Notre Dame Cathedral. She need not. She has built something more magnificent than any cathedral--a dwelling for an immortal soul, the tiny perfection of her baby's body...The angels have not been blessed with such a grace. They cannot share in God's creative miracle to bring new saints to Heaven. Only a human mother can. Mothers are closer to God the Creator than any other creature; God joins forces with mothers in performing this act of creation...What on God's good earth is more glorious than this: TO BE A MOTHER!? (Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty)"
