Now that I am no longer young,I have friends whose mothers have passed away.I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers until it was too late to tell them.
I am blessed that my dear mother is still alive.I appreciate her more each day.My mother does not change,but I do.As I grow older and wiser,I realize what an extraordinary person she is.I am very sad,so that I am unable to say these words in her presence,but they flow easily from my pen.
How does- a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself?For the love,patience and just 1----hard work that go into raising a child?For running after a child who is learning to walk,for understanding a moody teenager,for tolerating a college student who knows2------?For waiting for the day when a daughter realizes who her mother really is?
How does a grown woman thank a mother for3-----to be a mother?For being ready4----advice (when asked) or remaining5------when it is most appreciated?For not saying,“I told you so”,when she could have uttered these words6------?For being7----- herself ---loving,thoughtful,patient,and forgiving?
I don’t know what to do except to bless her as rich as she 8------ and to help me live up to the example she has9-----I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother looks in mine.
