Mother's Day

Every year I think to myself...this Mother's Day will be easier than the year before because another year has passed since my Mom has been gone...but it never turns out that way.  Instead, its getting harder...I had a really rough Mother's Day this year - I could not stop feeling sorry for myself and thinking why do I have to go without a Mother being here on Mother's Day?  Unless you lost your mother, you really don't understand how it feels to know that you can't call your mother on the phone and tell her how much you love her.  You can't go visit her on Mother's Day and tell her how special she is because she's not there.  You can't give her a hug and say Thank you for all you did for me.  Instead, I'm left going to the cemetery and talking to a stone that won't talk back to me.  Now, I know my Mom can hear me and I'm sure if she could she would tell me she loves me in return and wishes she could be here too, but I just wish I had one last chance to tell her exactly what she means to me.  So remember, to tell your Mom (even when it's not Mother's Day) how much you love her because someday you might not get that chance...
