Let us take a moment of the time just to show appreciation to the person called MOM through some may
not say it openly to their mother.
About Mom-There is no substitute for her.Cherished every single moment.Though at times she may not be the best of friends,may not agree
to our thoughts,she is still your mother!!!
She will be there for you.......to listen your woes,your braggings,your frustrations etc.Ask yourself.......
have you put aside enough time for her,to listen to her "blues"of working in the kitchen,her tiredness???
Be tactful,loving and still show her due respect though you may have a different view from hers.
Once gone,only fond memories of the past and also regrets will be left.
