Mothers Day

Posted by Jaime Buckley in Death, Family | 0 comments

What did you do for your mother on Mothers Day?

I know I should try and say something profound, maybe something pithy, but I’m at a loss.

My mom died in 2006 in a car accident. My mother in law gets bombarded with cards made from my children.  Kathi doesn’t give a fat jockey about the holiday (she can’t stand most holidays except birthdays)…so I’m not sure there’s much for me to say.

I miss my mom.

You never know when loved ones will be gone for good.  Don’t waste a moment if you have the opportunity. Make sure you tell them you love them, especially and most specifically your mother.  She gave you life, she cared for you and most likely cleaned up things that would make the Roto-Rooter man puke.

Don’t assume they know you love them.  Tell them.

Don’t end up like me, plagued with sorrow because the last time you spoke to your mom, you had a heated disagreement instead of a hug and kind word.

Trust me on this one.
