"When I was just eleven years old, our family drove from Toronto to Eastern Ontario, to the region north of the St. Lawrence River, where my father had been born. We reached the little village of Ventnor and Spencerville just before midnight; the residents had long since gone to bed. But dad needed directions to find the old homestead, where we were to spend the night. Reluctantly he stopped at a darkened house and knocked on the door. After several minutes of waiting, the yard light came on, and an older man opened the door. I could hear my father apologizing for the inconvenience; and then he identified himself as the son of the Pearson Lockerbie - my grandfather, dead for more than a score of years. Oh, come in, come in", said the old man. "No trouble, at all. We knew your father."… "That's the greatest legacy a man can leave his son."

Mothers have an incredible role in determining the future of the country. No, not in voting for education or against gun control, though those things are important. The immense power that mothers have is in forming the lives of the future generations.
Our children learn what love is from us, who God is, ethics and social behavior, and patience in their closest relationships, from their mothers.
