Good morning bloggers,
In honor of Mother’s Day I was inspired by a picture that my son sent me via text. In this picture you see my mother and myself looking out the window with uncertainty. As the matriarchs of our family we tend to worry about our children and their future. Needless to say, I am so proud of all of my children! They remind me of what is important in my life and that will always be their well-being. As a single mother I struggled to raise my children, but my priority was to give them a sense of confidence, resilience, & perseverance. As descendants from the Latin family, we take pride on our children’s success. But, I took a different approach when I had my children, I chose to lead by example. I was the first in my family to have a college degree, and I expected my children to do the same.
We rise to lift others, that includes our family & those we love. Those loved ones include friends, colleagues & significant others. We tend to bring out the best in each other, and we expect that to be reciprocated. Which is one of the reasons why I always try to be a positive entity wherever I go & that has been difficult to maintain under these intense times. Not being around my family has been extremely difficult for me, because they’re the source of my strength. We try to FaceTime & text each as often as possible, but we’re huggers, so not being able to hug each other has been hard, especially for me! I am anticipating the day that I get to see my children and my grandchildren and be able to hug and love them the way they deserve. But until then I will continue to rise to lift them.
