Mother’s Day all year long
As mother’s day is approaching and every retailer on the planet tries to market their ‘Perfect Gift,’ I’m here to tell you, I know the perfect gift and it doesn’t cost anything. Leah and Melissa, pay close attention and don’t get sassy……Laura and Amanda’s mom said it first. (I am sharing the thoughts of my lovely friend, Corliss Adams.)
What do I want for Mother’s Day? I want you. I want you to come around, I want you to ask me questions, ask my advice, share your problems, ask my opinion, ask for my help no matter how big or small.
I want you to call me and rant about things that frustrate and aggravate you. This means you’re sharing your life with me and I don’t want you to ever stop!!!
I want you to laugh with me and at me. It is the most beautiful music on earth. If you must cry, then come to me and together we will find the way back to joy.
I spent the greater part of my life raising you the best way I knew how, and if I may brag, dad and I did a pretty good job. You’re amazing. I just want to admire the fruit of my labors.
What do I want for Mother’s Day? Nothing. The gift of YOU will always be enough. I am so thankful for you and your accomplishments. Keep having a great life, chase your dreams. Each day, try to be someone else’s miracle, their answer to prayer and remember, I just enjoy watching and as often as it is appropriate, I’m going to join you in leaving the world better than we found it.
Feeling all big on the inside,
Gretchen
