To the best mother, that I've ever had I don't really do holidays, but to write you I'd be glad. To show you my appreciation, for your love and your care I could never thank you enough, for always being there. I'm so grateful, that I get to spend this day with you Especially for the ride, I know it's not the funnest thing to do. You have one of the kindest and most beautiful souls, this world has ever seen Even when you are sad or upset, you'd never think to be mean. You are wise beyond your years, with so much knowledge to share A lifetime of conversations and listening to you, has helped me to be prepared. Though we could never talk for long enough, I wish our time together would never end If you're ever lonely or just want to chat, my ear at anytime I shall lend. Never think twice about reaching out, for I am always here for you In good times or bad, I'll always be glad, in any situation to help you through. I wish we spoke more often, and were better at keeping in touch I have the same thoughts now about my father, and I regret not fixing that So much. Something like that changes perspectivem it makes you appreciate the time that we've got To make the same mistaken again in this lifetime, is something to bare I could not. So we need to make a change, with the way we speak to eachother We need to text, or call, or email at least, once a week one way or another. I'm not to keen on gift giving, I celebrate in my own special way I'm just extremely grateful to have this to give, and the day to spend On this beautiful Mothers Day. Joshua 5/3/12 It's not easy being evil, in a world gone to hell. |

A little background to make more sence of it. I moved away about 8 months ago, and I have seen my mom for maybe 5 hours since then. I've not been able to make it back home.. Though I had to go this month at least once before I wouldn't have another opportunity for another 4 months ( Long story ) Luckily for us that visit fell on mothers day weekend. I took a train in, and she was kind enough to drive me home ( 3 hours one way ) And on another note, about my father, I met him truly when I was 13, and he died when I was 15. Losing someone that close to you, especially after only knowing them so briefly really makes to appreciate the time you have with your loved ones, and the smartest thing you could do is to make the most of that time. Thanks for reading, and for those who do, replying. Joshua |

Good to read the respect you pay to your mother. Many now days lack respect for their parents which saddens me deeply. However, I appreciate this as I have written many verses about my mother over the years. I came into this world with nothing and she helped me through the first stages while a helpless infant. Good work and this is an enjoyable read. You're right on when you say make the best of your time with your loved ones. Eric true love never looks after it's own interests |

Joshua,just a note from an old lady.I appreciate that you want to get to know more about your mother.I neglected to do that while growing up.I only know a few stories and they help.But every one has a story and I did not think to ask the questions of her and my dad whom I lovee dearly.To make it harder back then,depression years, people did not talk too much about family.Those who had to, lived together, and those who could, helped others in the family. As times got better life was more pleasant for all. But on the way we forgot to talk more about the past. Good luck to you and yes. texting~ e-mail and even facebook helps to keep in touch. Good luck to you. latearrival [This message has been edited by latearrival (05-22-2012 07:19 PM).] |

Zall~ It's been too long since I've seen it to get the reference, though I appreciate your reply. Ethome~ I thank you for your kind words, and sharing that with us. I agree completely that parents aren't shown the respect that some truly deserve. latearrival~ I feel for you, and appreciate your wisdom. Thank you. Startime1955~ Thank you very much, I am glad you enjoyed it, I may be far away but I still feel her love, and I truly am blessed. Thank you for the hugs, and thank you for replying. Huan Yi~ I have had a few mother figures, but that line was more specifically meant to cause a smile. And a lot of mothers day cards or poems would start with "Best mom in the world" or something of the sort.. Well we've had a tough life, and come a long way, and I can't say she's been the best mom in the world, but she's right up there.. So I started with that instead and I think it hit spot on. Thank you for replying. It's not easy being evil, in a world gone to hell. |
