We celebrate our Mother’s on Sunday.
Every single one of us will have thoughts – they will range all over the map.
The War Plane Museum is letting Mother’s enter free.
The province has said that Mother’s can fish without a license.
The Compassion Society has made the day just a little different for those who live below the poverty line or far too close to that poverty line for comfort.
They refer to the women they serve as guests and support them with food, clothing and other necessaries.
This week, guests were given a purse, yes a purse that would have things that women carry in purses. A tube of lipstick is one example.
Oneil Edwards, the Executive Director at Compassion explains that the idea was to give the more than 80 people they have registered something different, something they might not be able to afford. Something that recognizes them on a day that might bring some emotional pain instead of the love and adoration most other Mothers will be getting.
