With Mother’s Day right around the corner, there’s no better time to say aloud the things we think about Mom but usually forget to tell her.
- You probably remember stuff that you regret doing as a mom. None of us remember it, but we forgive you anyway.
- We hope you forgive us for goofing off in Sunday School when you were the teacher.
- Nobody makes au gratin potatoes and meatloaf like you.
- You once said in a moment of exasperation, “I love my mom but sometimes I don’t like her.” Guess what, Mom? We kids all really like you.
- Did we ever thank you for not saying what you really thought about some of the people we went out with?
- You are a fabulous mother-in-law. Ask any of our spouses.
- We’re glad you can still drive. At least your presence on the road keeps us praying.
- A hundred times a day we hear ourselves say something you once said and we laugh because it must mean we’ve become just like you.
- You’re the only one who can announce on the phone, “This Is Your Mother.”
- You don’t need to text. You don’t have to get on Facebook. You don’t even need to email us. We think of you everyday with lots and lots of love.
