| A
Moment in Time
"Time flies,"everyone says.
It's frightening sometimes to look in the mirror and see the evidence of
that.
So often, we don't take a
moment to say what's in our hearts, and then, when it's too late, we wish
we had. I'm taking a moment now, Mom, to tell you this...
When I was a child, there
was so much I couldn't understand, like how hard you worked and how much
you sacrificed for our family. There were dreams you had to put on hold
and dreams that never came true. You must have felt frustrated sometimes,
no doubt, and at times even full of despair.
Yet you never gave less than
your best to us. You didn't have an exciting career or beautiful clothes.
You never traveled the world or drove a fancy car. Every day, you looked
after us, worried about us, fed us, and loved us, without expecting anything
in return. You see, Mom, I know now and understand that you actually gave
me two lives:
my own... and yours.
