Mother's Day 2014

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers I know. Kids: respect and love them for every second you have them in your lives. They can aggravate, complain, feel like they are bringing the weight of the world down on your head... because they love you. They want the best for you. They are that tiny kitten who will fight the Rottweiler for you. They will sacrifice all to be there for you and to support your greatest and not so great work. They are there with a gentle reminder to keep pushing, and a harsh reminder to be careful...
They are Mother's, and all of you who are fortunate enough to have had one in your lives... I envy you.
I was fortunate to have a Cornucopia of Ladies who took on the role in my life.
My first and DEAREST mother was Aunt Mae. You will always be in my heart Mae, and my deepest love went with you so many years ago and it will forever break my heart you didn't get to see more. I will cherish everyday I got to spend with you walking and talking about the world or God and what he meant to you, or just sitting and watching Jeopardy with you. I will NEVER get that back, and I miss it daily. I miss you Mom. Aunt Teresa, mean at points because she knew I had better in me than I showed... but became a loving and understanding force in my life as years passed and she found out what the true nature of my life had been. Even my Father tried to play a bit of the role. To all the friends Mom's who actually acted as though they cared, from Dave Taylor's "Red", to George Due's "Weenie" to any of my other friends Mother's... I thought the world of them all, and was the most jealous kid in the world that I had none to speak of in my life, but you had yours to complain about and be friends with in the long run.
To ALL of you Mom's who stick it out every day and fight to keep those kids going and on the right path... Happy Mother's Day!!!
To all you kids who have Mom around, CHERISH EVERY MINUTE YOU GET, they are fleeting and can be over in a literal heartbeat as my Mother's time has.
Love her for who she is and what she has done for you... You never get another.
