This will be the first Mother’s Day without a mother. My wife lost hers many years ago, and I lost mine last September. Many followed her journey with Alzheimer’s on this blog, and our loss is bittersweet.
We take heart knowing they are both now free from pain and sorrow, and we celebrate their lives and the examples they set for us.
For those fortunate enough to still have a mother, cherish her—she won’t be here forever. You’ll miss the phone calls, no matter how confused or zany or time of night and day. You’ll miss the meals and visits. You’ll remember it all because she is FOREVER part of you, both physically and emotionally.
Mothers are SPECIAL they give of themselves selflessly every day. Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms… all of you deserve more than just one day of dedication and celebration because that is what you give all of us………THANK YOU……
