The Best Title In The World: Mom

​I've been thinking all week about Mother's Day and my mom. My mom and dad built their dream retirement home back in 2000 and just a few short years later, very unexpectedly, my mom passed away from a massive heart attack. What do I want to say to moms this Mothers Day? First, I would like to say cherish every single moment with your mother if you still have her. She might drive you crazy, I'll admit my mom did at times but I miss so many things about her, even the little things we would share like which makeup to choose. I miss her cooking for me and her laughter. I miss her love of Christmas and food. I miss her squeezing my babies when she hugged them. I miss talking to her. I miss the phone ringing and I feel so sad that it used to irritate me if I was busy and mom wanted to talk. There is no one in the world like your mother. No one will ever love you like she does. My heart aches at the impatience I would have with her at times or the irritation I would feel when she would "mother" a little too much but only because she cared so deeply. Cherish the time you have. Don't let living life become more important than loving with your everything. You don't know what tomorrow holds. And to all you sweet moms out there, the next thing I would say is to cherish every moment with your children. Make time with them. Play with them and love on them. Teach them about Jesus and play with them some more. Put your phones down and listen. We are not guaranteed tomorrow, no matter our age, so make sure your children know how important they are to you right now and how deeply they are loved. Before you know it you will be a grandma looking into the eyes of your children and seeing yourself, looking into the eyes of your grandchildren and seeing your children. When you kiss your babies little cheeks at night as they snuggle under the covers, make sure you made memories that day that will last them a lifetime. As they drift off to sleep thank God he gave you the best title in the world: mom.
