As I remember this Mothers Day sitting at my desk, thinking of all the good, bad, difficult and brilliant times my mom and I had together, I smile. I smile because I can see her smile. I see her laughing vibrantly while gently picking me up and off the ground after I had fallen from my bike. Smiling and encouraging me to get up and ride again. Those were the good old days. I remember when she went into a deep depression when my Father died. Yes, she bounced back from those dark days and I know she did it for her children. All six of us still needed her to be our “Mom”, to love us even when she didn’t feel love. Those were difficult times.
It has been many years since I have physically seen my mom smile. As a matter of fact it has been 27 years, 4 months and 20 days since my mother passed away. At the time I didn’t know how to feel. All I knew was that she had suffered for many years from a chronic case of Asthma. I knew I didn’t like to see her in pain and as crazy as it sounds, death releases pain. I managed to convince myself and all that were within my circle of influence that she was in a better place and that I was okay. I was wrong. I was not okay and I limped through life with that statement pinned to my forehead everytime Mothers Day came around. Not anymore.

Today I offer this post as an “Olde to my Mom”, hopefully inspiring millions to send a Greeting Card to Moms all over the world. A Greeting Card for My Mother on Mothers day, proudly saying, “I love you Mom”. I can see her smile, I can feel her love, I can hear her vibrant laughter and I am happy because my mom is the happiest she has ever been sitting in heaven and smiling down on me.

Warmest Regards
