Writes..."Tribute To My Mother On Mother's Day"

"with tomorrow being mother's day i decided to post something for my mother. here it goes, even though i'm fairly certain she won't read it..."

"writing is a gift, everybody can't do it. everybody can't take the feelings in their heart and convey them with words. some people struggle and become frustrated and discouraged with it and quit trying. i don't seem to have that problem. i'll admit, sometimes there's a process to find the "perfect" word but i tend to come up with something i like in the end. i know what you're thinking, what's the point? i guess my point is if you've read anything i've written on this blog that sounded articulate or halfway intelligent, that's because of my mom. this 155 right here is her. she's ridiculously smart. i'm ridiculously smart. i am my mother's son.

being a good man to a woman is instilled, everybody isn't taught to. everybody isn't taught that he should love a woman with everything that he is, giving everything of himself to her. and accepting her for who she is, allowing her to be who she is. loving her despite her faults. cherishing her as his queen. i don't seem to have that problem either. again, my mom. she impressed these things upon early and often until they became as much a part of me as this 155 is. she explained to me that men are romantic. i am romantic. she explained that men are about their effort and their word. i am about my effort. and my word. i am my mother's son.

i'll end this thought with three little points. first, to all of the mothers out there, happy mother's day!!! it's a difficult job and no amount of appreciation from your husband or kid's father or kids really is enough but i'll say thanks anyway!! second, if anyone read this and felt what i was writing, give my mom a call or a shout out. send her a message on fb or something. cause third, i would not be who i am today if i didn't have my mom. my parents divorced when i was young and if i had raised by my dad i...never mind, i won't even go there. but i can guarantee i would not be writing this right now. anyway, i love you mom!!! with everything that i am and everything i will be."
