My father took me aside and explained to me tenderly how much my mom does for me, how much she loves me, and how important it is to bear with her in her imperfections. <br /><br />That night I took his words to heart and began contemplating just how much time, thought, love, and patience she had invested in our family. Seeing the decorations around the house made it that much more real to me. I broke down and just sobbed for almost an hour. Who am I that I would be loved so dearly?<br /><br />If I could count up all the ways my mom has loved me, the weight of it all would be more than I could bear.<br /><br />I cannot imagine losing my mother, especially so unexpectedly. I am amazed and inspired by your reflections on your mother. May her spirit live on in yours.<br /><br />~MegAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07084740983656044027noreply@blogger.com
