Mother’s Day Personal Thoughts

My whole life I had been in close range of my Mom on Mothers Day.  And none of these thoughts are really new, but they seem more important now that I cant just drive over to the house and hang out with her.

It was so great this year, when I would make late drives from Missouri to Omaha.  I would roll in at 2:00 am and my Mom would get out of bed and offer me food and shoot the breeze with me about whatever was on my mind.  It was nice to come home to a smiling face.

I remember when I was working long days in Omaha.  My Dad would be out of town a lot.  My Mom and I were dinner buddies, usually Tuesday nights about 7:30.  We would meet up and chat about the gym dish.  She would keep me in the family loop.  Just an hour and a half, then we were on our separate ways.  Sharing an independence desire and the need to be on our own schedule.

I already miss her garden.  I inherited a green thumb, partially untapped (can’t wait).  She has all sorts of different hastas and roses and blooming bushes.  She taught me to wait until May 15 to plant things that would die in when it freezes.  It is hard to wait some years, but her wise words ring in my ear.  Guess I don’t have to worry about that any more in LA.

I want all the exciting details on the thunderstorms and tornadoes that go through the midwest.  I can count on Mom for that.  There is so much more.  But those are a few things.

Just wanted everyone to know I have a great Mom, a great family all around.  I Love You, Mom!!
