As I sit here and type this blog entry, I think of my childhood, about my mom and how she has influenced me into the person I am today. I think all people (whether they will admit it or not) have a common and deep rooted connection with their mothers. My mom and I aren’t super close, but there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of her or have a fond memory of a time when I was a child. Mom is the one that will teach you your manners, in my life cooked most the dinners, assigned me my chores and threatened to tell my dad when I did something wrong so I would shape up super fast. God forbid dad’s wrath came down on me. You know what I’m talking about…”if you don’t knock it off; I’m going to tell your father!” Yeah…those were the days, when the biggest concern in my life was if I was going to get some sort of chocolate for dessert or be able to play with my friends after school.
Moms seem to be the ones that teach us the basics, while I’m not discounting fathers at all; I think Mothers Day is a very special day. Moms are nurturing, kind, loving, look out for you and are good cooks. (Yes, and so is my Grandma) While I won’t be spending time with my mom this mother’s day, I will be thinking about her and hoping she has a great day, however she spends it.
So, while this is short, be sure to appreciate your moms, give them a hug just because you can, and don’t forget to tell them you love them. Always let them kiss you on the cheek and leave their lipstick mark and never forget who your mom is – no one can replace them.
I love you mom!
