Let us take a moment of the time just to pay tribute/show appreciation
to the person called MOM. Though some may not say it openly to their mother,
there i nosubstitute for her. Cherished every single moment.
Though 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 to 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.

DON'T TAKE FOR GRANTED THE THINGS CLOSEST TO YOUR HEART, CLING TO THEM AS YOU WOULD YOUR LIFE, FOR WITHOUT THEM, LIFE IS MEANINGLESS.

HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY!
