Things seemed to have changed through the years, kids are busy with their own lives and don't always take the time to phone or buy a card for their Mother.
I'm not really sure why they don't think its important, but it brings back memories of my Mother, who passed away 40 years go from injuries recieved in a car accident. We had our ups and downs through the years and didn't agree on a lot of things. There were times when I wasn't sure whether she loved me or not, because our lives were so difficult while I was growing up.
Now that I'm older and have thought about our lives over an over. I know my Mom loved me, she had to much on her plate with all the problems going on in her life to be able to deal with it all.
My point being in this writing is, my Mom suffered for almost three years from her injuries and my step-dad was killed in the wreck by a drunk driver.
My sister and I did everything we could for her and that is where the love comes in, we all knew there was love between us, but the night my Mom passed away I was at the hospital and never told her I Loved Her before I left!
It was one of the biggest mistakes of my life, I carried around the guilt of that for years until I finally forgave myself.
So please kids, take time for your Mom this Mother's Day, it will mean the world to her and to you.
Your Memories will be your greatest blessing.
Happy Mother's Day to all the great Mom's, Aunt's and Grandma's everywhere.
God Bless and have a great day,
Elaine
I live 500+ miles away from my mom, but we talk once a week at least, and I always tell her I love her.
ReplyDeleteMy dad died in 1996. The night before he died was the first time he said "I love you" first; usually I said it first and he would reciprocate. I am so glad to have that memory.
I think sometimes we have so many things on our mind that it isn't the top thing to think about.... but when its to late its a big regret.
