Serendipitous Thoughts by Sugar Bear Happy Mother's day to honor Henrietta Lacks for her forgotten achievement and the incredible legacy she left behind. Her immortal HeLa cells revolutionized medical research, advancing science and saving countless lives, yet she was a mother first—loving, nurturing, and sacrificing for her children. Henrietta's greatness is not only in her contribution to science but also in her enduring love and strength as a mother. Today, we celebrate her memory and the profound impact of both her life and her cells.
May 11 – Mother’s Day
“Today, I gave thanks for the unseen sacrifices that shaped my soul.”
“Her children arise and call her blessed…” —Proverbs 31:28
Personal Reflection:
My mother didn’t preach sermons—but her life did. She prayed in silence, worked without applause, and loved without conditions.
Cancer took her from this world, but not from my heart. I still hear her voice in the quiet, still feel her faith in my bones. Today, I rise and call her blessed—not just because she lived, but because she showed me how to live and how to let go with grace.
