It’s time to celebrate Mother’s Day this weekend. Whether your Mom is living or deceased it’s a time to formally recognize and show them love.
My Mom passed away over ten years ago but I still celebrate her during the day. Usually I share stories about my Mom with my wife, children and friends.
My Mom was quite a Lady, so I usually leave my family and friends laughing from the stories I share.
Like the time she surprised me by flushing all the toilets in the house while I was taking a shower. We had just argued about some trivial topic (I was only 15 at the time) and I went to take a shower. To lighten things up a bit, she thought it would be funny to put her 15-year old in place by flushing all the toilets. Wow, did I jump out of the shower faster then a super hero!
One thing I don’t have is regret. I determined long ago that one of my “Secrets” to having a successful life was not to take any words with me when I passed. This means to let people know how I feel now. So I shared with my Mom all the things I loved about her (and a few that drove me nuts). It made for an open and honest relationship that I cherish to this day.
What could be more loving to do this weekend then to share with your Mom what you love about her? Sure, we could find things we don’t like, and I’m sure she could about you too. It’s in celebrating that we are “loving.”
While you’re thinking of things to share with (or about) your Mom this weekend, use the “comment” section below to share one of your favorite “Mom Stories.”
Start with “I remember the time my Mom…” and let it flow. Celebrate.
Have a Happy Mother’s Day!
To Your Millionaire!

Well, Sir, that was a very nice note about your Mom, my Aunt. One of my favorite stories was a grocery store outing with my Mom and your Mom. Somehow we ended up bowling Hawaiian Punch cans down the aisle…grading on form with each roll.
Thanks for reminding me. I know we both miss our Moms but it’s fun thinking of them up there together.
