JAI SAI RAMHAPPY THURSDAY..........TO ALL SAI FAMILY

This is a truly BEAUTIFUL piece.

Please read this at a slow pace,

digesting every word and in leisure...

do not hurry....this is a treasure...

For those lucky to still be blessed with your Mom,

this is beautiful. For those of us who aren't, this iseven more beautiful. For those who are moms, you'll love this.

The young mother set her foot on the path of life.

"Is this the long way?" she asked.

And the guide said: "Yes, and the way is hard.

And you will be old before you reach the end of it..

But the end will be better than the beginning."

But the young mother was happy, and she would notbelieve that anything could be better than these years. So sheplayed with her children, and gathered flowers forthem along the way, and bathed them in the clear streams; and

the sun shone on them, and the young Mother cried,"Nothing will ever be lovelier than this."

Then the night came, and the storm, and the path wasdark, and the children shook with fear and cold, and the motherdrew them close and covered them with her mantle, and the children said, "Mother, we are not afraid, for you are near, and no harm can come."

And the morning came, and there was a hill ahead, andthe children climbed and grew weary, and the mother was weary.But at all times she said to the children," A little patience and we are there."

So the children climbed, and when they reached the topthey said, "Mother, we would not have done it without you."

And the mother, when she lay down at night looked upat the stars and said, "This is a better day than the last, for mychildren have learned fortitude in the face of hardness. Yesterday I gave them courage.

Today, I've given them strength."

And the next day came strange clouds which darkenedthe earth, clouds of war and hate and evil, and the children groped and stumbled, and the mother said: "Look up. Lift your eyes to the light.

" And the children looked and saw above the cloudsan everlasting glory, and it guided them beyond the darkness. And that night the Mother said, "This is the best day of all, for

I have shown my children God."

And the days went on, and the weeks and the months andthe years, and the mother grew old and she was little and bent.But her children were tall and strong, and walked with courage. And when the way was rough, they lifted her,

for she was as light as a feather; and at last they came to a hill,and beyond they could see a shining road and golden gates flung wide. Andmother said, "I have reached the end of my journey. And now I know the end

is better than the beginning, for my children canwalk alone, and their children after them."

And the children said, "You will always walk with us,Mother, even when you have gone through the gates."And they stood and watched her as she went on alone, and the gates closed after her.. And they said: "We cannot see her

but she is with us still. A Mother like ours is more than a memory. Sheis a living presence......."

Your Mother is always with you.... She's the whisperof the leaves as you walk down the street; she's the smell of bleach in your freshly laundered socks; she's the cool handon your brow when you're not well. Your Mother lives

inside your laughter. And she's crystallized in every tear drop. She's the place you came from, your first home; and she's the map you follow with every step you take.. She's your first love

and your first heartbreak, and nothing on earth canseparate you.Not time, not space... not even death!
