A MOTHER'S LETTER ABOUT MOTHER'S DAY
What
I Want for Mother’s Day!
Dear
Children,
Mother’s
Day is coming up, and I thought I should tell you what I want. This way there’s
no guilty panic or last minute purchasing of
flowers at the closest gas station. So, this is what I want, this year and
every year after; it’s pretty simple really.
· I
want you to be a decent human being.
· I
want you to be who you are, but don’t be a jerk.
· I
want you to work hard at everything you do, because life is too short not to
give it everything you’ve got.
· I
want you to ask for help when you need it.
· I
want you to help others when they need it.
· I
want you to learn how to cook, do your own laundry, pay your bills and know how
to clean a bathroom.
· When
you screw up, and you will, more than once, I want you to own it, because it’s
the screw-ups that make the victories sweeter.
· I
want you to travel, because the world is huge and you are one part of it.
· I
want you to know that even when we disagree with each other, I will never stop
loving you.
· I
want you to play nicely with others.
· I
want you to feed your curiosity.
· I
want you to find a way to do what you love, and realize that that might look
different than you originally thought.
· I
want you to respect every human being’s right to be who they are.
· I
want you to sometimes be more interested in someone else than in yourself.
· I
want you to know that you are flawed and you are extraordinary. There is no one
else like you.
· I
want you to know that I would lay down my life for you any day of the week.
· I
want you to realize how lucky you are every once in awhile even if only for an
instant.
· I
want you to know love, even if it means getting hurt.
· I
want you to relax and not feel guilty about it.
· I
want you to know life can be brutally hard sometimes.
· I
want you to know that you can choose happiness even when the dark side offers
you cookies.
· And
I wouldn’t mind breakfast in bed.
See,
simple.
Love,
Mom
