This Mother's Day I have a greater appreciation for my mother. She's not here, I spent the last month tying up loose ends from her hospitalization and hospice care. Today, the finality hit when I got the death certificates in the mail. She's gone, her ashes reside next to my father's on the shelf. They are together again, forever. She had a good life, even the years when she lived in her own little world as dementia took its toll. So, to all of those who read this, tell your mother you love them, not matter what may have happened in the past, time for forgiveness and say it like you mean it, that is the least you can do. It means so much, and you may not have another chance. And to those who, like me, have lost their mother, say a little prayer, your mother will appreciate it. Do it for your mom.
