Let us take a moment of the time just to pay tribute/show appreciation to the person called MOM though some may not say it openly to their mother.
There's no substitute for her. Cherished every single moment.
Though at times she may not be the best of friends, may not agree to our
thoughts, she is still your mother!!! She will be there for you...to listen to your woes, your braggings, your frustations, etc. Ask yourself..... have you put aside enough time for her, to listen to her "blues" of working in the kitchen, her tiredness???
Be tactful, loving and still show her due respect .
