My mom passed away in 1995 and sometimes it still seems like yesterday as well.

Thank you for sharing. Sometimes I feel like she abandoned me but I know she's

still with me. A few months after her death I had oral surgery to remove all

my wisdom teeth. When the oral surgeon put me to sleep, I heard my mom's voice

saying " I told you I'd be with you whenever you need me. " I think that's

where I get my strength to meet challenge after challenge. Again, thanks for

sharing, .

Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I even wept a little. What a

special story, and sometimes we all need the reminder about our mom's and what

they have done for us. Thank You!! Happy Mother's Day a few days late, too!!

Love, PJ

Blessings,

Mothers....

For those who are lucky to still be blessed with your Mom this is beautiful.

For those who aren't, this is even more beautiful.

The young mother set her foot on the path of life. " Is this the long way? "

She asked. And the guide said " Yes, and the way is hard. And you will be old

before you reach the end of it. But the end will be better than the

beginning. "

But the young mother was happy, and she would not believe that anything could

be better than these years. So she played with her children, she fed them

and bathed them,and taught them how to tie their shoes and ride a bike and

reminded them to feed the dog, and do their homework and brush their teeth.

The sun shone on them, and the young Mother cried, " Nothing will ever be

lovelier than this. " Then the nights came, and the storms, and the path was

sometimes dark, and the children shook with fear and cold, and the mother drew

them

close and covered them with her arms, and the children said, " Mother, we are

not afraid, for you are near, and no harm can come. "

And the morning came, and there was a hill ahead, and the children climbed

and grew weary, and the mother was weary. But at all times she said to the

children, " A little patience and we are there. " So the children climbed, and as

they climbed they learned to weather the storms. And with this, she gave them

strength to face the world.

Year after year, she showed them compassion, understanding,hope, but most of

all unconditional love. And when they reached the top they said, " Mother, we

would not have done it without you. " The days went on, and the weeks and the

months and the years, and the mother grew old and she became little and bent.

But her children were tall and strong, and walked with courage. And the

mother, when she lay down at night, looked up at the stars and said, " This is a

better day than the last, for my children have learned so much and are now

passing these traits on to their children. "

And when the way became rough for her, they lifted her, and gave her their

strength, just as she had given them hers. One day they came to a hill, and

beyond the hill, they could see a shining road and golden gates flung wide. And

mother said: " I have reached the end of my journey. "

And now I know the end is better than the beginning, for my children can walk

with dignity and pride, with their heads held high, and so can their children

after them. " And the children said, " You will always walk with us, Mother,

even when you have gone through the gates. " And they stood and watched her as

she went on alone, and the gates closed after her. And they said: " We cannot

see her, but she is with us still. A Mother like ours is more than a memory.

She is a living presence. "

Your Mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk

down the street, she's the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you

pick and perfume that she wore, she's the coolhand on your brow when you're not

feeling well, she's your breath in the air on a cold winters day. She is the

sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow, she is

Christmas morning.

Your Mother lives inside your laughter. And she's crystallized in every tear

drop.

A mother shows every emotion.......... happiness, sadness, fear, jealousy,

love, hate, anger, helplessness, excitement, joy, sorrow.....and all the while,

hoping and praying you will only know the good feelings in life.

She's the place you came from, your first home, and she's the map you follow

with every step you take. She's your first love, your first friend, even your

first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you. Not time, not

space...............not even death!

MAY WE NEVER TAKE OUR MOTHERS FOR GRANTED
