I envy the people who still have their moms around...the ones who can still talk to them, hug them, kiss them, smile with them, laugh with them, just being able to sit beside them even without saying a word and still feel loved and at peace.
My mom passed away 30 years ago, I was in grade school then. I could still remember that day - every little detail, every sob, every teardrop rolling down my face. I lost a big part of myself that day...and I knew that part of me was lost forever. The days passed swiftly and time flew by. Sometimes I would wish that she would come back, even for just awhile, even for just a brief moment, so I could hug her and see her smile, But, alas, life isn't like that. Reality bites, I guess. I tried to look for her in other people, her sisters, my friend's mom, my elder sisters...but no one, no one can ever be her. She had that special smile, that certain walk, that familiar frown...things I would never have a chance to see again. I never experienced sharing stories with her when I was a teenager, nor was she there when I didn't know what to do. She was not there to fix my hair on my wedding day, nor walk me down the aisle with my dad. Sometimes I call her name when I am in despair, and wish she would just be there to comfort me...to give me a hug...whisper comforting words...like saying "Everything will be alright."
When some of you feel like your mom is being intrusive, over protective, annoying and stubborn...stop and think again. Be thankful for having your mom around...be thankful that she is still there, just trying to be the best mom to you. Be thankful that you can still call her to talk, see her smile, share stories with her, kiss her and hug her...because not everybody was given that chance. Don't you know you have the most precious gift anyone could ever have? YOU HAVE A MOTHER. So while you still have the chance, HUG HER AND KISS HER, TELL HER HOW MUCH YOU LOVE HER AND THANK HER FOR BEING YOUR MOM. Because that is the best thing you can ever give her specially on Mother's day.
Wherever you are, Mommy, I LOVE YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. THANK YOU FOR BEING MY MOM, FOR LOVING ME AND TAKING CARE OF ME, EVEN IF IT WAS JUST A FEW BRIEF YEARS, I KNOW THAT YOU LOVED ME AND WOULD DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT ME. I HOPE THAT WHEREVER YOU ARE, YOU ARE HAPPY AND AT PEACE.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!
