you thanked her by moving halfway across the country.
when you were 30, she called with some advice on the baby.
you thanked her by telling her, “things are different now.”
when you were 40, she called to remind you of a relative’s birthday.
you thanked her by saying you were “really busy right now.”
when you were 50, she fell ill and needed you to take care of her.
you thanked her by reading about the burden parents become to their children.
and then one day she quietly died.
and everything you never did came crashing down like thunder.
“rock me baby, rock me all night long.”
“the hand who rocks the cradle...may rock the world”.
let us take a moment of the time just to pay tribute and show appreciation to the person called mom though some may not say it openly to their mother. there’s no substitute for her. cherish every single moment. though at times she may not be the best of friends, may not agree to our thoughts, she is still your mother!!! she will be there for you...to listen to your woes, your braggings, your frustrations, etc. ask yourself...have you put aside enough time for her, to listen to her “blues” of working in the kitchen, her tiredness? be tactful, loving and still show her due respect though you may have a different view from hers. once gone, only fond memories of the past and also regrets will be left.
don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. love her more than you love yourself. life is meaningless without her ...
