I am proud and almost have a feeling of guilt after read others post today. I was truly blessed and grateful to have a Mother (and Father) who raised me right, was always there for me, and led me in the right direction. For that I will always be thankful.
My Mother left this world ten years ago to be in a better place along with my Father. I still miss her (them) dearly, but she left me with thousands of memories, all good. I recall all the things she told me as a young boy growing up. Little things that that I didn't see as important at the time. Say your prayers when you go to bed at night. Brush your teeth. Never be a quitter. If you quit one time it will be easier to quit the next time. Always treat people like you would like to be treated. Always be yourself. She led by example. I only had to follow.
On this Mother's Day weekend, I would like her to know I still hear her whispers in my head. I hear her voice. Her words of wisdom that echo my mind. Those little things I didn't see as important at the time I realize now were not just words, they were a Mother's gift to a son. When I lose my way, as I often do, I only have to listen for those voices.
Happy Mother's Day Mom, I love you.

((((RLC))))....your Mom done good...real good. Would you have considered her an instrument of HP's peace? Sounds like it. I'm look for the good now because of this post of yours so your Mom's still doing good.
((RLC)) Thanks for sharing... your post brought tears to my eyes, such a nice tribute to your mom. She did fantastic and I'm sure was very very proud of you:) My mom shared similar words of wisdom with me growing up.
