It is a tragedy that many mums today will be grieving the loss of their children as a result of knife crime, shooting or other violent act (glassing perhaps or from sickening punches).
In the last century, Mothering Sunday was when young people in domestic service (apparently about half the employed UK population) would return home.
They would go to the church where they were baptised (their 'mother' church) before visiting their families and bringing a gift to their mothers.
Today is a popular time for saying "thank you" (and "love you") to mums who have given us life and our first love.
For many mothers though, their loved son or daughter is not coming home today. Tragically, death at the hands of a criminal fool (or fools) has separated them. We remember these killings and the misery they have wrought, as ever :'-( and we continue to work for change.
