I just called my mother on the phone to wish her a happy Mother's Day, and we had the best time chatting about this and that. She said she can't wait to see me, and I'm really looking forward to seeing her, too. She commented that we always have such a good time together, sharing stories and laughter. And that's true. I reminded her that we can also do that on the phone between visits. And we do, but the face-to-face times are the best. To see the mischievous look in her eye as she divulges a previously hidden mystery of her past, to see her throw her head back in mirthful belly laughter, and to catch the upraised eyebrow and sideways glance that means I'm about to hear a particularly juicy tidbit. Well, those times are priceless.
On this Mother's Day, as my children celebrate and honor their mother in winsome and wonderful ways, I celebrate and honor my mom. I am so glad that I can still see her and touch her and be with her. So many don't have that joy and privilege. The older I get, the more my beautiful, charming Mommy means to me. Thank you, Mom. I love and appreciate you, and I think you are wonderful!
