That's sad to hear ourbet.



Well guys, I'm going to go totally sappy on you now. This is something I wrote about my mom on a past Mother's Day. I sent it to her and it made her cry.

:an_cry:




I happen to have the best mom of all time and I was just remembering a little story about her.

When I was 10 or 11, I was very close to my mom. But I remember one day she pulled me aside to tell me that soon I was going to be a teenager and I probably wasn't going to like her or want anything to do with her. She told me that when it happened, she would understand completely and I shouldn't feel bad about it.

At the time I didn't believe that was going to happen but I did become a teenager - and a troubled one at that - and of course her prediction that I would turn on her was 100% true. Despite my general bad attitude at the time, I'm sure I always felt some underlying guilt for how I was treating my mom, but I never forgot what she said and it was always (to this day) meaningful. She wanted me to always know I was loved no matter what. It was like she had thrown an emotional comfort blanket over me.

My mom, by the way, has always been a literal maker of blankets. My apartment is full of the afghans she has made for me, some of which are works of art - not that I treat them that way. Even my little cat has a little blanket that my mom made just for her. If I had to pick one symbol to represent my mom, it would be the warm, beautiful blanket.

Here's to my mom!




And to any moms who may read this, a happy day to you!

Gee...Thanks everyone for your really nice comments; that's very kind.

Well Mothers Day ended here ten hours ago, so those of you on the East coast (1 hour to go) and those of you on the West (4 hours remaining), I hope you ALL have had a great day with Mom!
