Give your mom a call today if you can’t visit. I know many cannot do so for various reasons.
I’ve used this photo before. I like it. It’s not the first of my mom and me, but I like this one. The picture was taken in 1956 before regular color photography existed for ordinary 
people. I understand that back then, some people painted photos.
Both of our birthdays are in September, so she decided to have a birthday photo made of us. I was four, and my mom was 22 when it was taken.
Earlier, I posted a rather sad video. A young mom is singing karaoke with her young children. She jokes she is a rockstar. As time goes on, her kids develop other interests. I’ll link it below.
Mom tries to stay involved, but her children always have something else to do. She doesn’t give up, but the video cuts to a cemetery scene. Mom has died. The children, adults now, are sitting in their childhood home. The daughter sees and picks up the old karaoke mic. Looking at it, through tears, she tells her brother, “She was our rockstar.” They hug each other.
At that point in the video, a young man speaks to a mother’s unconditional love for her children, which is often unappreciated. His message is important. I’ll link it again at the bottom.
My mom has been gone from my world since 1997. I last spoke to her on Mother’s Day in 1996. That’s 28 years, and I’ve shared my love for her in my heart. I always hope it manifests itself outward.
