Happy Belated Mother's Day



The value of good mothers can never be overestimated.

Recent news that a child died in our community, possibly without the full knowledge and understanding of a loving parent, underlines the need for more emphasis on the value of mothers when it comes to sustaining not only life, but quality of life in our communities. Mothers provide the first touches of love and compassion, nourishment and discipline. Children who fail to receive those first caresses, those first kisses, begin life with a deficit in their soul that no amount of money will ever balance, a void that seems to never be filled.

Mothers to be, mothers who are, and mothers of mothers must know the role they have taken on, whether in surprise, joy or sadness, must not be discounted. You are the most important, the most critically necessary component in bringing about change for good in the world. Embrace motherhood, because the love or the lack thereof which your child receives from you will certainly be multiplied within the generations to come.

Charlene Harrell, a Progress correspondent and mother and grandmother, understands the longlasting impact of a mother’s love. She found a poem she stashed away years ago for such an occasion as this most recent Mother’s Day. The poem was written by her friend and lady-Inolan Betty J. Tankersley.

We are glad to share it with you ...

“Mother’s Day Memories”

Mother’s day is a special time

To traverse the miles and years,

To be again at the old home place,

Where the beauty of memory appears.

The home sounds beckon to the heart

The laughter and fun we knew
