Every year around this time I really miss mom
Not to get all morbid and everything, but my mother has been dead for a few years now. Mother’s Day is coming up this Sunday. I really miss her around now. I start remembering her laugh and her smile. It is a shame we have to lose the ones we love one day. I guess that is what makes life itself so precious. We are only here for a short while.
So I am going to go to the flower shop and get her a nice hearty plant for her grave. She always loved the outdoors and gardening. I guess I got a little bit of it from her.
If you are reading this and your parents are still alive, I suggest you take a minute and acknowledge how grateful you are that they are still around. Don’t waste the opportunity to spend more time with them while they are still around. Life has a funny way of blindsiding you unexpectedly. One morning you get that phone call that something has happened.
Don’t dwell on it. Just remember how precious your relationship with your loved ones really is. You are a living creation of your mom and dad. Their blood runs through your veins. Respect them, honor them and love them. Don’t forget to pick up some flowers for your mom this Mother’s Day. You will make her day.
