Happy Mother's Day · 6:05pm May 13th, 2018
Hey everyone, first, let me say thanks for actually taking the time to read this. Especially considering what today is. But that will be the point of this blog.
I have time to write this since my mom is currently watching a show on netflix.
This blog isn't an update blog, but one that I hope will properly express just how much I truly love, appreciate and absolutely adore my mom.
There's really no order here. I'm just gonna say what's on my mind.
Everyday, I hope and pray that when I finally meet the woman whom I am meant to be with for the rest of my life, that she will be at least half as amazing as my mom. I pray that she shares the same compassion, the same diligence, the same humility and the same amount of faith as my mom. I pray that she will give the same amount of care, compassion, discipline and kindness to our future children as my mom has shown me. I pray that she will share the same amount of love and generosity toward me as my mom showed toward my father. For they are both still married after 27 years 
My mom was crushed last year when her own mom was taken by cancer that April. Yet, even then, my mom believed was being selfish for being sad that her mom wasn't around anymore so she won't be able to express how much she loves her anymore. She has taken comfort knowing that her own mother is in Heaven not sick and won't ever be sick anymore. I hope to be THAT strong emotionally someday.
The biggest regret I have is letting my dad drive drunk to a gas station ALONE for Copenhagen tobacco while I stayed at home KNOWING this while I could have taken the time to drive him myself. When my mom asked where he was I told her. She was angry at first but then expressed remorse and disappointment through only one look of her face that STILL haunts me today. And I believe she teared up while walking away. That's worst the thing I've ever done. Making my own mother cry. Thankfully my dad came back fine. But ever since then, not only do I not drink alcohol EVER, but it drove me to NEVER upset her, in general, EVER again. It gave me the drive to only ever bring a smile to her beautiful face.
Until the day I marry to the woman that I will lay my life down for, my mom is the woman of my life. I will forever treasure every word she says like it's actual gold. For she helps bring only the positive aspects of my life.
She was there when I was born, I hope we continue to live long lives, and I'll be there on her death bed. Holding her in my arms.
It saddens me that not everyone gets to experience the love of a mother. If they have, know that they're happy in heaven. If you never grew up with a mother for any reason, you may have mixed feelings for them, but love them anyway. For it is they that give this world life.
God bless my mom. God bless all of you.
Amen to that! Have you ever considered taking your mother out to lunch for this special occasion before?

We already picked up fried chicken from her favorite fried chicken place (Popeyes) and had one big family lunch so were good
But if you mean one on one we did that two days ago so were even better

Well, that's good. My mom didn't feel like going out to eat this Mother's Day so we just ate at home instead.
