By Preston Pendergrass
II is appropriate that a day he
set aside to honor mother, but it
would be more fitting to honor
her every day of the year for the
role she plays in our individual
lives from the cradle to the
grave
Abraham Lincoln's comment
on a- Mother's Day jjmg past
epitomizes the esteem in which
been and always will be held
“All I am. all 1 ever hope to be. I
owe to my sainted mother.
Sundav will be a day to honor
mother .in many nations across
the world. It will bean especial
ly happy day far
mothers still live/%nd it will be
a day of loving memory for those
whose mothers are gone.
• For most of us., nu .matter
whether it was yesterday or
many years ago ‘that mother
siip^awaVrihe mlmory'ofher
will be as fresh and as vivid as it
was when she walked among us.
The. deep hurt caused by her
leaving nay-have been eased by
time, but the memory of her and
what she meant to us never
duns The influence for good she you gave me during my for
exerted on ouf lives will remain :
until we. too. lay down life's
0 burdens
' When I think of. my mother, I
: can hear the soothing melody of
‘ that sweet old song. 'Precious'
- memories, how they linger; how
they ever flood- my soul ..In the
love, so many things we could
have done io make her burdens
lighter
The only thing that makes
these recriminations bearable is nas UI«\a Pet'no,n 01 DanKruPi'
