CoT:

I said in the pre-blast that this was partially an M appreciation post. With today being my M’s birthday, it is just another reminder for me to truly value and appreciate everything that she does for our family. With her birthday being so close to Christmas, I have always tried to make it a point to make sure she still gets her ‘special day’ every year. I possibly even overcompensate, but that’s alright. It is all worth it in the end.

Some of you may or may not have life partners of some sort. However, even if you do not, chances are there is still someone out there that you should be appreciative of. Someone who does things for you or your family that does so without really expecting anything in return. During these COVID times, my M has been there stride for stride with me and has really gone above and beyond making sure my boys and myself are as well taken care of as we can be given the circumstances. I watch her work hard everyday all while keeping a full time job. Don’t get me wrong, I do the same thing for my family and for my boys, but there is just something about the way she goes about it… the way that she is so selfless about it that I feel sometimes goes unnoticed. Do I do enough to thank her for this everyday?

My challenge to all of you men today is to find someone who you are appreciative of. Maybe it is your partner? Your mother? Maybe a close friend or a neighbor. Let them know how much they mean to you and let them know that their actions do not go unnoticed. Sometimes it is that little act of recognition that could make a difference and add fuel to that person’s day.
