I Miss My Mom

Today is a bittersweet day. On the one hand, I enjoy the attention, cards and handmade gifts from my husband and kids. On the other hand, it reminds me that I don't have a mom to do the same for. If you are a parent of young children, think about how much energy and time you spend taking care of them. Think about how much you love them. Think about how much your children are your life right now. Once, very long ago, you were also the center of your mother's life. She did everything for you because she loves you. Life is fragile and short. Make sure you do something extra special for your mom today. I sure wish I could.
