Our images of Mother…
4 years old: My Mommy can do anything!
8 years old: My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!
12 years old: My Mother doesn’t really know quite everyhing.
14 years old: Naturally, Mother doesn’t know that, either.
16 years old: Mother? She’s hopelessly old-fashioned.
18 years old: That old woman? She’s way out of date.
25 years old: Well, she might know a little bit about it.
35 years old: Before we decide, let’s get Mom’s opinion.
45 years old: Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?
65 years old: Wish I could talk it over with Mom.
I miss my Mom.

This is absolutely delightful.
We were blessed indeed.
Love this!
I love that poem, I look at it often. It is really true, we miss them so much when they are not here any more.
I love that poem as well. It is a good reminder for me as I help care for my mom. She moved into an assisted living facility a few months ago, but I still visit almost daily. There are always challenges and situations to deal with. I am humbled when I think of those who are no longer able to visit their mothers. I am grateful I still have her!
