How do you tell them how much you love them on just one day? How do you honor them without worshipping them? Although they might prefer that, how do you tell them how much you appreciate them? Honestly, I don’t know.
Really, is there any way to thank them for kissing your sore knee and making it better; For getting up in the middle of the night an chasing away monsters; for cleaning up after you have been sick when they are just as or more so than you? I don’t know.
Yea, they are not perfect not all the time, not every meal is wonderful but it is edible (most of the time especially when you don’t like it). Your favorite outfit is not clean when you want it but other outfits are. It might take her a minute or two to remember where you left your homework that was due yesterday. No, they are not perfect they ARE human after all.
How can we say we are sorry for all of the sleepless nights Mom spent when we were away from home? The tears we caused when we chose the wrong path and hurt ourselves and others? The pain and disappointment we inflicted when we were angry at her for something she had no control over? I don’t know.
There is no way to adequately say anything. I guess we live the life that she has invested countless hours developing and influencing in us. To be all that God has made us to be and to express in as many ways as possible all of the love that our Mothers have lavishly given to us as the physical image of our Heavenly Father.
I don’t really know any other way to say, “I love you Mom,” than that.
