Mom's Special Day
Happy Mother's Day
If it wasn't for you
I wouldn't be here
This is one of the most important of all holidays
No doubt in my mind
With my mother, grandmother, God mother all in heaven
This gives me time to appreciate them even more
Why stop there
Wish a happy wish to all mothers everywhere
They deserve to be recognized and appreciated
Anyone can buy some flowers,candy and a card
But not everyone can draw them
My picture was going to be included
It didn't come out to good
A six year old can draw better
At least I tried
I am drawing another picture hopefully this one will be nicer
I am sure your family will be by soon
While you wait I thought I would tell you in my own words what a mother is
Someone who made my life possible
So you may not be president of the Untied States
You do so much more
Held me when I was sick
Picked me up when I fell and by the way that was often
Loved me unconditionally
Even when I was bad
I made my mistakes and thought I knew it all
You watched over me and gave me time to learn
No matter how much it hurt
Giving me a chance to grow
My list is endless
I am sure I never got to say
So many times the sound of your voice made my day
It's never too late
Because I like the sound of that
I never will forget all the hugs and kisses
Our secret talks
Always saying please and thank you
I want you to have so much fun
Remember I am who I am today
Because of you
I am a better person
Thank you for all your advice and support
Love and friendship
You are in my heart
Shining through like the sun after a rain storm
I will always miss you
All I have to do
Is look around and you are there
Love you mom

Nellieanna I love the little things in life that make people happy.Outside all day cutting the grass and we put down grub ex to kill the grubs. Last year they had a party on my lawn and they didn't invite me. .You put it down with a spreader.and water. Then you wait and see if it works. Thank you for reading and sharing.

DDE Mothers are always busy doing what they have to. I think mothers do so much more because they love to. Thank you for reading and sharing.

How lovely of your wife to make a little cake for me and for my name being on it! Thank you! I seldom have cake but, by chance, my sweet neighbor across the alley brought me several slices of her birthday cake! So when I eat it, I'll also think of the cake with my name on it up there in your loving home!
I was up early again today for a service call for my home security system. The motion sensor was on the blink and it kept reminding me when I set the alarm or disarmed it, saying the motion sensor needed to be fixed. So I called the provider and the guy just fixed it. I feel so blessed to have all the electronics working nicely!
We're under a storm warning, but so far it's just dark, overcast and quite humid. But nothing can darken my happiness to have the glitches fixed!

A wonderful thought for all mothers.

Nellieanna I was preparing to send you letters by mail. Thinking if there is a problem there is always a solution. Even if it's only temporary until the problem is resolved. I love the computer but in the past I have had my own problems where I lost information and couldn't get on line. It was a real shot in the butt and it felt like the nurse gave me the biggest needle. The worst part of it she was still smiling and said I am not done. So I feel for you. Nice to see when on going computer issues get fixed. One of my greatest pleasures is when I have difficulties and then they are gone. I celebrate my new found love for everything and soon forget just days ago I felt like a monkey at the circus jumping through hoops. My wife made a little cake to cheer you up and it says Nellieanna. I wanted to say more but ran out of room. Then thinking your beautiful name says it all. A thoughtful way to let you know you are in our thoughts every day. It's not even seven o'clock here I went to bed early to get a jump on my day. Make it a funny day where we can laugh at all the good we see in life. Thank you for your support and encouragement.

I agree, Michael! Staying upbeat is the key to being joyous. Yessir!
I'm happy to report that my internet service provider sent techs today to find and fix the issues which have been preventing my access to my internet for awhile. They worked on everything from the telephone poll out back to replacing the actual modem inside! So - maybe I can start to get caught up now!

Gypsy Rose Lee I love the way we all have our stories and special moments. These bonds we carry through life. Thank you for reading and telling others to appreciate their moms while they can.

Wonderful tribute. Moms are certainly special and I always miss mine. I always say to those who still have moms - hug and kiss them everyday.

Nellieanna Life is funny in many ways. Everyone needs a good laugh. If we remember the things we have enjoyed our joy can continue. Thank you for reading and sharing.

Such a beautiful tribute to your mother, Michael. I'm sure the pictures you draw for her are much better than you think, but the fact is that your words here paint beautiful pictures!
