The latest trend going on Facebook right now..."In honor of Mother's Day...post a pic of your mom..."
I haven't participated in this trend. Unusual...I know. I am not participating out of respect. I <3 my mom beyond measure. Sigh...my mom doesn't like her pictures. She doesn't want to have them posted on the internet, unless SHE puts them up there.
I don't really understand why.
A couple of my friends have lost their mothers this year. Honestly, I cannot even begin to wrap my brain around a possible thought of that happening in my life. Two of my friends that are sisters just lost their mom. Her funeral is the day before Mother's Day. Oh. My heart aches for them. I can't really say or do anything to comfort them right now. I don't know that I will ever be able too. Even though they are not close friends...they have been on my mind since they posted the information about it. I hurt for them. They have my deepest condolences.
I hope...and pray...that each one of the people in my life that still have their Momma's by their side...will take this upcoming holiday...and hug their Momma's neck tight. Steal her kisses from her when she isn't looking. Appreciate her for being your mom. Love her. Like there is no tomorrow.
