Now that I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers have passed away. I have heard these
sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers until it was too late to tell them.
I am blessed with the dear mother who is still alive. I appreciate her more each day. My mother does
not change, but I do. As I grow older and wiser, I realize what an extraordinary person she is. How sad
that I am unable to speak these words in her presence, but they flow easily from my pen.
How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself? For the love, patience and just plain hard
work that go into raising a child? For running after a toddler, for understanding a moody teenager, for
tolerating a college student who knows everything? For waiting for the day when a daughter realizes how
wise her mother really is?
How does a grown woman thank a mother for continuing to be a mother? For being ready with advice
(when asked) or remaining silent when it is most appreciated? For not saying:"I told you so", when she
could have said these words dozens of times? For being essentially herself-loving, thoughtful, patient, and
forgiving?
I don"t know how, dear God, except to bless her as richly as she deserves and to help me live up to the
example she has set. I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother looks in mine.
