Remembering my mom

This month if my mother were still alive, she would be 100 years young. We always remember different things from different times about our parents. The let me share a couple that just stand out. I believe it was when I turned 9 or 10, it was Christmas and the gift my mom got me, well I just wasn’t sure if she was trying to kill me or wanted me to run away with the circus. She got me unicycle! It came with these two sticks to help you stay up right but it didn’t work for me at all, in fact when I went back to school after Christmas break, I think I had the most bruises I’ve ever had. But she didn’t want either for me she just thought it would be fun to have a unicycle and learn to ride it.

Then skipping many years later, I was in the Army. I was stationed in Germany, this one Christmas I didn’t receive the fruitcake my mom made. You see she made fruitcake every Christmas but she didn’t send it to me this time. Without me even saying anything she knew I was coming home for Christmas. It was supposed to be a surprise but somehow, she knew, I guess they always know.

I know she’s in a much better place I know she loved me as I love her, I know one day I’ll get to see her again of course that time is up to God. Have a wonderful Mother’s Day and don’t forget your mother. God Bless
