Today May 8, 2011 is Mother’s Day. I just wanted to write a few word for all the women who became mother’s either by giving birth or taking on the roll through adoption or foster care or what ever the circumstance. Bless each and every one of you.
Through your actions of showing love, guiding young life to adulthood, giving them values and beliefs to stand for molds the future of our world. Little by little everyday a mother gives something of herself to make sure her children are taken care of before themselves. Some give their time to go back to school so they can make a better life for their family. Some cook and clean to provide a healthy environment for their children. Most if not all don’t give this a second thought. It is what has to be done because that’s what their mother’s did for them.
I can’t count the number of things my mother must have given up for me. A child born crippled and had to have extra care. The nights of lost sleep to make sure I could sleep. The surgeries that worried her or the time spent taking me back and forth to the Dr’s appointments. My mother was a strong woman and as she said made from strong stock hearing the stories of her mother. My mom, all moms’ is what holds a family together. She learns through time how to keep siblings from killing one another. She learns how to show each child one on one attention without making the others feel left out.
Mom is who makes the boo boo’s go away. We may fight with them and think we know better. We may roll our eye when they give unasked for advice, but the truth is we all know in our hearts they are most of the time right. I know mine was more than just a few times.
So to all of you I raise my glass and toast you for being who you are, the strong women who took on the roll of mother.

Dear Mom
Hello Mom,
I'm just writing you a note to let you know you’re still on my mind. I sometimes find my self laughing remembering some of the things you said or done. Remember that time we went to Bollix, MS and that crab chased Aunt Hazel, and the pavement was so hot we thought or shoes were melting? Man that was a good time. I know I was a pain and I'm sorry, I only say that because I have one doing the same thing to me I did to you and now know what I put you through. I missed seeing you at Christmas and I was sorry about that, oh I missed your pumpkin pie as well HA you know how I was about your pies. That's okay I know you got to spend it with Joyce and I'm so jealous tell her I said hi that I love and miss her as well.
As for Zack you should see him. He’s 10 will be 11 soon. He’s tall, handsome and smart, oh so smart. I think he will be as tall as dad maybe shorter. He loves to read and build things that make me very happy. He wants to be an engineer and I think he will build beautiful things. He misses you as well. I tell him the stories of you two and how you loved to be around one another. I think he remembers without the stories even though he was so young. Just so you know that all the advice you gave me wasn't wasted, I find myself giving it to Zack sounding an awful lot like you. I think you planned that. Even though you're so far away I still feel you right here looking over my shoulder whispering in my ear words of encouragement giving me strength.
I wish you could see my personal growth, things haven’t gone well with me but I remember the things you said and I move forward. I remembered you saying if we didn’t move forward we would get board with the things we see. So I pick my self up and move to see what’s over the next hill. I would think I would get use to it, but I’m still amazed at how much you really are still with me. I can talk to you and hear your replies as if you are sitting next to me. The only real thing that I miss is that hug that makes it all better. Well I better let you go for now. Tell Dad and the rest I love them and to take care.
Oh yeah and Mom, Happy Mother’s Day I love you OH so much.
Love,
Sid
