mam(m)a mia!

Kanye West's Hey Mama and Jay Chou's 聽媽媽的話 come to mind when celebrating that day of tu madre.

With all due respect, we love and cherish the woman and the women who've stepped in and acted as mama. BUT, sometimes that woman be trippin'. Yeah, I said it. I'll tell her myself.

But in light of a sermon I just heard, I want to give voice to the ones who haven't been as fortunate. To the ones that've been hurt by this woman. To the ones that resent this woman. To the ones that can't bring themselves to forgive this woman...

Let go and let God. She may not have done you right in your lifetime, BUT please do her right in her lifetime. For her. For you.

Dear reader, she might not have taken care of you the way you would have like her to, but know full well that He's got your back.

Forgive her. HE forgave us.

If mama did nothing more than bring you into this life, then shouldn't that be enough? she gave you the right to breathe, to think, to love...she with God's amazing plan gave you LIFE! everything else is just extra.
