Happy Mother's Day Do you, as I, continue to take your Mama for granted? Knowing we are both getting older and each word we speak could be the last? Have we been the child that makes her proud or causes her head to hang? Do you feel guilty for all the things you haven't done or wish you could do? Well, stop it! We will never be the perfect child, even though she thinks we are. Stop trying to please her and just love her. You know, sort of like our relationship with our heavenly father. That's all she (and he) wants anyway!
