As fate would have it it was the last gift I ever got to give her.
Maybe those of you who read this will stop and think about what your Mom means to you before you hurt her.
Fix things while you can. Tomorrow is not a guarantee.
I would give all I have to have my Mom with me now. Oh just to hear her laugh. It's gone now. She lives in my memories.
Bearing that in mind, please forgive me for sharing this personal moment with you all. Happy Mother's Day to all you Mom's out there. You are so loved and so important.

A Wonderful Mother
God made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old.
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He molded her heart of pure gold.
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks, fair roses you see.
God made that wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me.

Dearest Mom,…
Another Mothers day has come and , unlike years past, I didn’t want to let this one slip past without letting you know I appreciate all you’ve done for me as my Mom and as a friend.
I know that our time here in this world is finite and we speed towards life’s end with each passing hour, yet the exact hour of our departure is unknown to us.
It is in that spirit, that I didn’t want to let another moment escape us before I told you how much I love and admire you for the woman you are and the wonderful mother you have always been to me.
This is not to say we haven’t had our strained times and harsh words. God made us as mother and son to suit whatever purpose He wished, but he made neither of us perfect. In fact, in many ways , he made us alike. He made us both very emotional and full of spirit…add sometimes...too much stubborn anger for both of our sakes. He even gave us the same powerful, yet piercing eyes to stare in to the souls of those around us.
Still, you knew not the son I’d grow to become, nor the many hurts and disappointments I’d cause you as I grew up and went out into this world. You had no idea how I’d break your heart or hurt your feelings, not out of my anger or discontent, but rather, out of my stupidity and forgetfulness. You had no idea the kind of man I’d become…yet from the moment of my first breath…and to this very day, you have loved me as the person I was, always wishing that best for me, loving me, encouraging me even when I was too weak to want to go on as I am.
Well, I know our time together is not without end here, so I wanted you to know that I apologize for all the hurtful things I ever said and did, and I want you to know that I love you Mom. Nobody could love a Mother more than I love you.
I just wanted you to hear it from me while I could tell you myself.
