Mother's Day 2010

As I reflect on this mother's day, I can't help but think about those girls that no longer have their mother's and those mother's who no longer have their daughters. I can't help but think about all my childhood memories of my mom, my sister and myself, and I remember waking up on Saturday mornings to the smell of pancakes and I know that those will be the days that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Back in February my mom lost one of her dearest friends and on this mother's day I thought about her children, Katie(15) and Jake(9) this was there first mother's day without their amazing wonderful mother Patricia. They used to be our neighbors and have always been a big part of our lives. So the day of her funeral i told myself that i was going to spend more time with my mother and tell her I Love You everyday and that I would always give her a hug and kiss before and left the house and before I went to bed and it's not like doing that would come stranger to us because we never do that, but we actaully do that every single day. On Saturday, May 8, 2010 my mother and I attended a mother/daughter tea party at church and one of the speakers lost her daughter 2 years ago in a horrible train accident and one thing she said really stuck in my head, "Tomorrow is not promised." What I got from that was to spend and cherish as time with your mother and mother figures because one day they'll be there and the next the may not and you'll wish that you would have spent more time with them. As an end note, I hope all the mother's in the world had a wonderful mother's day.
