Hi Mom,

It’s me your son. I know your listening because you always listened. Even when no one else listened, you did. You made me feel special. You made sure of that, by telling me I was special many times.

And as I grew up under your nurturing and watchful care I blossomed because of you.

Only God in his heaven knows how you came to possess so much love and patience.

The only thing that I know for sure is, I ‘m passing it on mom. Both of your grandsons are now the recipients of all that you taught me and all the morally good things you had to offer while you were on this earth and their hearts now reflect that.

There is no greater legacy.

I miss you mom, but when the pain becomes great I look in the eyes of my two boys and there you are.

So it is with great remembrance and love that I share this verse written by me for you and other moms for this coming Mothers day.

```
          Come Home

```

We played too long among the ‘simmon trees  
As the summer sun sank in an orange sky  
All elbows, legs and dirty knees  
So daring we could fly

With wonderment and boyish joy, we pushed the bounds of fate  
Till a mother’s voice broke the evening’s play  
Come home!  
Come home and be safe.  
Happy Mother’s day mom, I love you, I know dad is there so tell him I love him too.

Your Son

A suggestion, if you have a mom please be sure and hug her and tell her you love her tomorrow.

Aha that is so sweet. Your mother and father are very lucky to have a son like you. My greatest wish is to have my son grown up to be a fine, loving man like you.

Now, I gotta run and call my mom and tell her thanks, and I love you. I’ll be sure to do it on the 14th, too. 😉
