"Increase the Peace for Mothers"

As Published in the Chicago Tribune, 5/10/15 by William J. Booker

Every day, mothers sacrifice their dreams to provide a better living for their children. They don't eat, when their children need to, they don't rest, when their children can't sleep, and they get up every day and go to work because sometimes they don't have a choice in the matter, and when things get really bad, they get up in the middle of the night to protect us from the monsters hidden away in our closets and under our beds.

"The everyday sacrifices that mothers make, no matter how big or small, are like small investments that earn big dividends once their children grow up to be successful and have loving families of their own." 

 The last thing any mother expects is to have her number one investment stolen from her by senseless gun violence or at the hands of police officers whose jobs are to serve and protect all of its citizens."

Mothers make great sacrifices for their children--which is why being a mother is so special. This Mother's Day, around the country, increase the peace for mothers, who have dedicated their lives to their number one investment--their children.

Happy Mother's Day!!!
