I am a mother and know how it feels when a child tells you they appreciate you and how they love you.  Too often we take for granted our mother and when they die it is too late to do anything about it.  Taking time to tell them I love you  or I appreciate you does not take long at all.  What do you have to loose anyhow?  Mothers took ten luna months to carry you in her belly and to nurture you there.  She took a long time in pain to deliver you.  That alone is worth the thank you and I love you’s.  Mother’s Day is a great day to say thank you and show the appreciation she deserves. 

Mother’s Day is soon approaching and we choose to do something about it or not.  If this is the only day you do this, you should make it special. Too many times we can forget to focus on what is really important to us and then it is too late.  Why do we have to wait until they are gone to appreciate who whe was and what she done for us?  Why is it that we can only think of her when you want a hand out or you need a babysitter?  The other times she goes weeks before you even call her.  Our excuses are too weak and too superficial to be even heard. I have heard the excuses that they did not have time or they forgot because they had to do something for themselves.  We are talking about one special day and we have the whole year for ourselves

I hear things like I am mad at her because she would not do what it is I wanted her to do.  I am mad at her because she did not agree with something I wanted to do and needed money for it.  How selfish people have come and it is a crying shame it has to be that way.  I know that it is all for me,me, me and nothing else matters.  That is so selfish.  Your mom gave you life and it is a shame you can not see past “ME”. 

I think we should get on our knees and praise our mothers and appreciate what she has done and not be mad at the fact she is not able to give you more.  She spends time to pray for you when you are not with her.  She takes time to worry when she thinks you may be making a huge mistake in your life. There is times she may wonder what she did to keep you from talking to her. Then there is times she wishes you would take time to come see her.  So what you did not have the best upbringing.  Get over it.  She did her very best to give you all she had.  Mothers have to sacrifice alot of things and time for you and you can’t be big enough to tell her thank you and I love you.

Take time to appreciate your mother for who she is and not what she can give you.  She gave you your life and if it is bad then don’t blame her for it and how you were brought up but rather take time to fix what you don’t like.  Some people don’t have choices and that is unfortunate but a lot of us do.  Appreciate what you have for she won’t be there forever and then it could be too late.  Do not regret it when you look back and say something like ” I could of done or I should of done”  because I should of,I could of is too late.  Don’t regret not spending time with her.
