If I knew as a child
what I know now, Mom,
I probably wouldn't
have made things
so hard for you.
I would have
understood
that you were looking
out for my best interest.
even though it may
not have seemed so at the time.
I would have known
how difficult it is to let go,
to stand back and let
someone you love
learn from their
mistakes.
I would have realized
how fortunate I was
to have a mother
who was always there for
me,
even after an
argument,
even after I'd said
things
I shouldn't have.
While it's too late
for a lot of things
it's not too late for
me to tell you
that I appreciate how
loving you are,
how giving you've
always been
and that even though
I may not always be
good at showing it,
I love you very much.
HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY TO ALL THE WOMEN IN THE WORLD!!!
