My mother passed away long before her time and I miss her deeply. I always thought she would be there. She died before we had the time to grow past our differences. I was her special child and she always held me a bit too close. It was a true struggle to learn to stand on my own. There were many times that I hurt her deeply because I went too far in trying to make her stand her distance. We never resolved these things. If there is an afterlife and Mom has seen the progress I’ve made recently, I know she understands why I did what I did and that I never stopped loving her.
My Mother’s Day message is really for every son and daughter out there that might run across this message. Don’t put off telling her you love her. Don’t put off resolving your differences as best you can. However you do it, stand your ground, be proud and independent and at the same time respectful and loving toward your mother today. She may not be here tomorrow.
