If Life Exists After Death

 It’s true you don’t really know what you have till its gone.

Every year you were my coach.  I never had to worry that you would miss a game, or that I wouldn’t have friends.

Because you were there. And you took care of me.

When ever I felt the itch to daydream about paint or gardening you were my eager conspirator.

Hour after hour you would indulge my idle chatter.

After volunteering at my school all day you would come home every night and make dinner.

Even though one of your children would always complain, you never did.

But what I appreciated most was that you genuinely loved me and cared for me.

As a mother you honestly did the absolute best you could

And so, if life exists after death.  I just wanted to say thank you. And happy mother’s day.
