Moms are usually the first people in our lives to love us. Yet it is so easy to take that person, who is always there for us, for granted.
The woman who teaches us right from wrong, who is always there when we get home from school, who calls us just because we're on her mind, and who never asks for anything in return — and we can't even being to say thank you for all they've done for us.
When I saw this video of a Marine commander's message to his mother, it was hard not to bawl because he was able to say what so many people cannot.
Most people not only love their mothers but revere and respect them.
I know that when I talk about my mom I have plenty of nice things to say about her. My mom is a talented writer and painter, as well as a compassionate person. How many times have I told her directly that I feel this way about her? Less than the fingers I've got on one hand.
I wish I had a good reason why — I don't think any of us have a good reason why — it's so hard to tell our mothers that we're grateful, that we love them, and that they're irreplaceable.
They ask him one question about his mom, and he can't even answer. But when he finally tells his mom what he never could, it fills him with so much joy he can hardly stand it.
When we tell our moms we love them, it makes us both happy!
