What is a mother I wouldn't know
Because my mother was just for show
Oh she was there alright,
every day and every night
She never knew the right things to say
and I alway felt like I was in her way
Even though she wasn't there for me,
I am not looking for sympathy
Don't get me wrong I love my mother
I just wish she was another
someone who knows the importance of touch,
who cares about ME. Is that asking too much?

HI, I'M 66 AND A COUPLE OF SUNDAYS AGO, ON MOTHERS DAY, THE PASTOR ASKED EACH MEMBER TO STAND AND GIVE A TRIBUTE TO THEIR MOTHER. IT WAS COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED BUT WHEN IT CAME MY TURN...I DIDN'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT. I SAY THIS BECAUSE MAYBE TEN OR FIFTEEN YEARS AGO I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND MAYBE HAVE EVEN DECIDED TO SAY NOTHING...'CAUSE YOU KNOW THE OLD SAYING, 'IF YOU DON'T HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO SAY, DON'T SAY ANYTHING'. BUT THIS IS NOT TEN OR FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, THIS IS NOW, TODAY, AND JESUS CHRIST HAS MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE SO I CAN EMBRACE THE TRUTH...WITHOUT FLINCHING. MY MOTHER AND I DID NOT HAVE A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP BUT I KNOW NOW AND CAN ACCEPT THE FACT THAT GOD PLACED ME WITH THE MOTHER HE WANTED ME TO HAVE. HE DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES. WHATEVER EXPERIENCES I WENT THROUGH IT WAS FOR MY GOOD AND HIS GLORY. I WOULD NOT BE THE PERSON I AM TODAY WITHOUT EVERY BIT OF MY EXPERIENCES(THE MOLDING AND CHISLING). AND I AM TALKING ABOUT FROM THE TIME I WAS BORN, UP UNTIL TODAY. WE DID NOT LIKE ONE ANOTHER BUT I LOVED HER AND I AM SURE SHE LOVED ME. SO, WHAT IS A MOTHER? A MOTHER IS A PERSON WHO DOES THE BEST THEY CAN WITH THE CHILDREN GOD HAS GIVEN THEM. THEY ARE VERY IMPERFECT PEOPLE, WITH FLAWS AND HANGUPS. SOMETIMES THEY ARE RIGHT AND SOMETIMES THEY ARE WRONG...THEY ARE HUMAN AND MAKE MISTAKES. I REALLY DIDN'T REALIZE THIS UNTIL, THROUGH THE GRACE AND MERCY OF GOD, I TOOK A GOOD LOOK AT MYSELF AND SAW HOW IMPERFECT I WAS AS A MOTHER. THANKS FOR SHARING.

"Keep your eyes on Jesus" He will guide you and console you in this great loss. Many today have mothers who do not know how to show love. If you keep your heart open to her and pray for her, perhaps a day will come when you two will be able to love each other freely.
Blessings,
