dear mom,
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
You’ve been a mom for 37 years now!
Does it feel like that long?
It doesn’t to me, but that’s likely because I’ve only been there for 33 years of it.
But for the 33 years I’ve been around, I can say without hesitation that you are the best mom I’ve ever had.
Not only have you loved me every single day of those 33 years, you also made sure that I knew you loved me. And DO love me.
So you should know that I love you very much, that I am proud of you, that you’ve made me the person I am today (the good parts, not the lame parts… those are Dad’s fault) and that nothing in life makes me happier than knowing you are happy.
Thank you for being the mom my friends wished they had. And for opening your heart and life so you really WERE everyone’s mom.
And thank you especially for being mine.
Sorry about my entire thirteenth year.
Your toad,
Meg

“Sorry about my entire thirteenth year”
Meg, I’ll ascend into heaven when my son says that! I think he thinks it now, but I haven’t heard it yet.
Also, thanks for countenancing the geriatric teenagery portrayed in that photograph. As ossified as we are, the impulse is never more than a wink away!

“geriatric”???? She’s not that old!

iSore, it’s a little bit of hyperbole, since I’m pretty sure we’re older than you guys are!
