I Hope You Had A Mom

A Mother's Day tribute

Xavier Mouton Photographie

---

I hope you had a Mom who, on particularly pleasant days, took you out of school and drove you to the lake to go swimming and have a picnic.

A Mom who laughed a lot.

A Mom who bought you How To Draw books (even though they didn’t work.)

A Mom who let you play your guitar into the late hours of the night and never complained.

A Mom who taught you to judge people based on their character, not their appearance.

A Mom who said, “Go outside and play.”

A Mom who loved God and modeled Love your neighbor as yourself.

A Mom who made you come home before the street lights came on.

A Mom with funny, lovable relatives who were fun to visit.

A Mom who went skydiving in her “later years.”

A Mom who drove a used 1960s Porsche that was always breaking down.

A Mom who made the best cinnamon rolls in the world.

A Mom who is loved by many.

A Mom who loved you a lot.

Because I did, and it was great.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!

My Mom is still going strong at 86. Love you, Mom!

Thanks for reading and responding. You make it fun.
