Happy Mothers Day

Cousin, kid folks, mothers, get on up in here. Welcome to the newest episode of Current down the Construction. I am your host, King Hub. Thank you so much for joining us. Happy Mother's Day, Happy Mother's Day, Happy Mother's Day. It is Mother's Day weekend, cousins and ken folks, and this weekend and it's this episode that's we do every year. We celebrate who moms. We celebrate moms. Man. I I just this is a very favorite holiday of mind. And also it's a hard one for me too, cousins and king folks. I'm not gonna even fake the fault, which is even though it's been this is the fourth month without my mom. Uh and I miss it and it's hard. It it it, it is. It's hard without her. But you know what, I still cherished him all forty plus years that I had with her. She was amazed and my mom is amazing. But right about now, I'm gonna come back to that. I'm gonna come back to that. Right now. Moms, I wanna salute you. This is a shout out to you all moms around the world. It is your day. It is your day, and I'm gonna tell you something because of the king folks say I knew I can talk to y'all, and that's what it says. Is right now, this is a conversation. This is just me talking to my cousins and kinfolks and my family. Y'all know how we do it. Moms or something else. Moms are different. I can say this in being a parent myself, but I'm a dad. That's different. That's different. But moms there's a special bond, there's a special chemistry. There's a special love between mom and her children. It's like no weather it is, it's like no other and and and they should be celebrated. It hurts me when I sit and see those who don't give their mothers that just do. And it's hard. I've seen where children are very disrespectful to their moms. I've seen some that you know, their moms do everything in the world for them, and they act like their moms don't even exist. That's crazy. This is mom. If nobody else has your back, mom does mom. If no other place that you can be able to go back to, you can always go home to moms. If for some reason you can't go back home to my mama, it's something wrong. Right there. Altogether, you burnt the heck of a bridge. Because regardless of whatever you do, whatever is done, Mom, you can always go back to Mama is more forgiven than anybody, more forgiven than Dad, more forgetting than more forgiving than Nana, Gigi, Me, Me, Me, Mo, Paul, Paul, whatever. You just just more forgiven than any of them. Mom, Mama gets out there and kidd it for hers. Now I'm talking to now, now, hold on here, let me be clear, and I'm not trying to upset anybody. I'm not trying to step on anybody's toes right now with what I'm about to say. So I'm gonna be clear about this, cousins and ken folks, because we were talking right now, we're having a conversation right right, Okay, So yo'all y'all and me outly listen to me. Good. Mom should be revered always because they're the backbone of the family. Let me say this again for yours, for who don't hear me. Mom should be revered because they are the backbone of the family. You think of lyne, y'all know, I'm about to come with y'all. Y'all know I don't I want to say something like that without coming back with with with with receipts. Y'all know I don't do that. Cousins and king folks. That ain't what we do here currently under construction. Y'all know that that ain't how. That ain't how your cousin roll. So let me let me tell you what I mean by that by mom being the backbone and the family. Most people say, well, it's where isn't that the dad? We are part of that and with which we're supposed to be the head, you know, as the husband. You know, if we are a husband, that's be clear about this. If we're husband, I'm not trying to get side tracked. That's a whole different topic. We're gonna come back and touch that at another time, cousins and kinfolks. But right now we're just talking about moms. But most of say, we'll be dad. But I'm gonna tell you why I say this about mom. Mom is your psychiatrist. Mom is your nurse. Mom is your teacher. Mom is your uber lyft driver. Mom is your alarm clock. Mom is your first your very first person that you see when you are born in coming to this world. That is the first set of arms that you are put in Mom. Mama is all Dad. Mom will lose sleep trying to make sure that you're okay. Mom is the is your accountant. Mom. Mom is your prayer warrior. Both your parents me pray, pray, pray for you, and pray over you. But Mom is that one that's gonna go to God daily for you. Mom is gonna be that one that's gonna sit there and and and not eat. It's gonna be fast, and that's gonna be up in the middle of the night tarrying in supplication with God, you know, to so that you can do whatever it is that's going on with you right now. That's Mom. We'll do that. Mom is the backbone of the family. Still don't believe me, okay, then so so check check me out, check me out. And this this this meet this seemed to come up a little more bitter. But but just just roll with me on this. When son or daughter get in trouble or something happens with them, who is the very first person they called call my mama? Huh huh am I right, you still don't believe me? Okay, okay, I'm sure you again, I'm sure you'll give you another one. So when you was in elementary school or younger and people play the dozens or get to talking about you, folks in your fami talking about talk about it's folks in your family. They can say what they want about you. They can say what they want about your sisters, they can say what they want to say about your daddy. Well you say something about somebody's mama, that's a whole fight. That's a whole fight. Huh. Hello, this is this thing, y'all. Y'all here with me, y'all hearing me. Mom is the backbone of the family. Mom. Hm, I'm here to tell you, mom is the backbone. That's why they should always be revered and respected. Now I'm gonna step on some toes again. I'm sorry cousins and ken frozen. But every woman that bears a child isn't necessarily a mother. Every woman that bears a child isn't necessarily a mother. You are a mother in the biological sense that you brought forth a human life into this world, whether it's by natural birth, through the birth canal, or by cesarean section. Regardless of how it was done, you are in the biological sense. You are, but it takes more than that to be a mother. Just like with dads, you may biologically laid down with this woman and did what that was necessary to help produce a child, but that doesn't make you a dad. But again, that's a different topic. That's for Father's Day, that's for next month. We're gonna touch base on that. Then I'm gonna come back to that. Y'all stay with me, cousins and kin folks. But just because you biologically brought forth a human life into this world, that does not make you a mother. Pouring into loving, caring for protecting, sheltering, doing all that's necessary to make sure that your child, son or daughter is raised up, taking care of, fed, into to become a productive person in this world. That is mom. But guess what mom's jobs do doesn't stop. Even when you're out on your owning, you going, mom's job still doesn't stop because guess what, regardless of whatever you're doing, after you leave home with mom and you have your own and you're doing your own thing, Mama still keeps praying. Mama is still there, Mama still offering advice. Some of it may be good, some of it you could listen to. Some of it you don't, but she still does because she cares. Because that's mom, because that's what she do. That's mom, that's mom. That's what they do. Me and my MoMA, I've been on my own since I was sixteen seventeen. My mama was forever continued to give me advice. Maybe you might want to do this right here. She never tried to tell me what to do, but she did offer advice, and a lot of times I would come to the many, Mama, what you think I should do about X, Y and Z, and she give me up. She gave me her vice, mama's counselor also Now, like I said, Mama's all of that. Even the lessons that we learned coming up, even if we didn't understand what it was or realize what it was, that was Mom pouring into us for things that was gonna mix in see you somewhere down the line, prime example. And a lot of us hated this. You know, when you hear that good old soul music on Saturday mornings, early Saturday morning, you might already end up watching cartoons. But when you hear that music, come on, you know what time it is. It's time to get up. It's time to clean up. But these are lessons that mama was doing on that Saturday morning when she got you up and got you pulling your clothes out, pulling the sheets in, and comforted off your bed, getting ready, and she got you cleaning a certain way. These were lifelong lessons that she was giving you that was going to be a part of you somewhere down the line. Huh. How many of y'all still clean up like you, like your like your mama did when you was coming to Come on, come on, let's let's be real about it, cousins and ken folks. I know you can't see me right now, but I got my hand up. I clean the same way, whether I do it on a Saturday morning or Sunday morning, I still get up and clean that same way that my mama had me to. I got music going and everything, and I'm on it. That's something that stayed with me that mom poured into me. Yeah, it's a lot of other things that they pour it into you. You know again, you you you you still grow up and you still do your own thing. But the foundation is that the foundation is set now how you move and do and it's your own way and your own thing. That's all you, but the core of it and the base that's all laid there by Mom. They won. Yeah, that's Mom. That's what she do. Those are the things. That's one of the things about Mama that makes us so special. But see, I'm to tell you something else, Mom, a mom to you doesn't always have to be your biological mom. Say what can huh what you're talking about, cousin, Because see I got what you said, but it just didn't look it just don't make sense in my head. Well guess what, cousin. Ken folks, I'm glad you asked. That's what I could explain what I mean by that. There are people in your life that have poured to you in a motherly way and had a hand in raising you. It could be an older sister. It can be an aunt, It can be your grandmother. It can be a friend of the family slash aunt because you know, most of your Mama's friends essially, if they're really close friends, they end up being your auntie, your auntie, you know what I'm saying. So, yeah, y'all know how that works. You know how we do things in the black community, that's how we roll. But yeah, it could be that, it could be a godma. But there are women in your life for you growing up that have poured into you in a motherly way that are still mom. Doesn't necessard to me that you're without your mother or anything like that, but they pour into you just the same because they have the same type of love for you. And you may not be those biologically, but that don't make them no less mom. Wo who somebody gonna get that here in the second. Y'all gonna get this. F y'all gonna get this in the second, cousins and ken folks. I'm here to tell you, I'm telling you something good. I've had several women that I was blessed to be in my life who poured into me that way, and I'm grateful for all of them because all of them are like moms to me. My big sister Angie, he says, I love you. My big sister Angie poured into me like that. My Ain't Carolyn hey t t poured into me that same way. Hey, look, she's done that all Almost the moment I came into this world. She told my my mom, you and my brother might have made him, but that one right there, he belonged to me. That's my baby. She meant that here almost fifty years later. Guess what, I'm still baby. I better call her too. I'm gonna get in trouble. She gonna fuss at me. Hey, y'all wants to hear it. I love you, t you. I'm gonna call you. I know you listening. I'm gonna call you. But hey, but that. But that's just people that you know that pour it into you. So if you blessed to have someone you know along with mom, or if you know that pour into you like that, still Mom still a blessing to have, don't take it for granted. So for all of the moms around the world right now, I salute you. You are appreciated, you are loved, you are needed, You are all of that to us, and we love you so much.
