A few years ago I was living in London, working in the hospitality industry….which I am sure needs no introduction into how long the work days were….one Sunday afternoon on my walk home from my 1/2 day of 8 hours, I noticed that Hallmark was telling my mommy she is loved….and I should tell her too. With a hint of guilt I quickly purchased my card, wrote on the inside, licked the envelope (can’t they at least make it taste like strawberries) and posted my love to my mom…..triumphant in the knowledge that it would be there in time for Mothers day in 2 weeks!!! What a thoughtful daughter I was!!!
Time went on and I hadn’t heard a peep from my mom…Mothers Day had come and passed (No, I am not an awful child for not calling her. The time difference and my work schedule conflicted consistently). So on my next available Sunday afternoon I called my mom to see if she got the card…and that she did…but there was a nervous undertone in her voice….”It was a lovely thought honey….but it isn’t mothers day here in Australia for another 2 months….so I’ll just keep it until then”.
I was so proud of myself….thought I had done the nicest thing ever and my mom is looking at the card like “a swing and a miss. We’ll just swing again in 2 months”.
After this mistake I realised I didn’t want it to be just ONE day that I take a moment to tell my mom how special she is….IT SHOULD BE 2 one in March & one in May!!!
Joking aside, show her often, tell her frequently….
So to my Mom, a Happy Mothers Day, today and every day. I love you!!!
And for those of you who need a little reminder for that special day this is for you…..
