Dear Editor,
Can you believe it? Sunday, the 11th of May will be another Mother's Day. Time is really flying. But I am glad to know, that, out of the 365-days, a special one is made available for the celebration of all the good, not so good, or not so faithful mothers. But, mothers truly deserve special recognition; because, to bring up children into the world, it cost them a lot, plus, their bodies were rocked with great labour pains.
Some of us may not have material gifts to shower on our mothers, but giving them a warm hug, or a strong embrace, and telling them that we love them, can be like a great gift and comfort to them.
However, we deeply regret the passing, or the cruel, untimely deaths of some of the mothers in this country; and we lament the fact, that they are no longer with us. We also remember those who are sad and depressed, because they have lost their mothers.
I am therefore sending my love and respect, to all the mothers in Jamaica, and also to those who are away, in foreign lands. And I say to them, especially those who are playing a father's role, to stay strong, and keep hope alive.
Finally, the children should now, if they can, take the opportunity in preparing the tradition Jamaican dish of the real rice and peas and chicken, with the strong, original coconut milk, and some nice, body-building juice for their mothers.
Thank you very much.
Donald McKoy
