Happy Mother's Day

First of all as we celebrate "Mothers Day" this weekend, on behalf of everyone at Mohave Community College and me, we want to wish all our students who are moms, grandmothers, aunts, godmothers and those of you who fill these rolls without the official titles – a very wonderful Mother’s Day Holiday and thank you for all that you do for those around you…Cherie Houston

Mother’s Day is and should be a time to celebrate, not just by buying gifts, cards and flowers (now don't get me wrong those are very nice gestures) but ask any mom and she'll tell you that more important than gifts are the hugs, phone calls, the touches, being included, remembered and thought of throughout the year, not just on Mother's Day. Now those are the "gifts" that are more important than anything purchased…

A poem that might just say it all:

UNSAID

~ Author Unknown

Somehow we always say the least

to those we love the best

And hope our thoughts are understood,

Although they're unexpressed.

That's why it means so very much,

when days like this are here

To say how very much you're loved

each day throughout the year.

Happy Mother's Day

Not sure why and how the "Mothers Day" holiday began, you might want to check out a few websites we found…
