I miss my Mom. I cherish my memories of her. It was through her when I first understood what true love is. I remember growing up as a kid and giving my mom some heartaches. I remember those days when I come from school and pass by her bedroom and there she was on her knees praying. She tells us that she prays for each of us children all the time. My mom left us three years ago due to old age. When I close my eyes and think of her, I see only a face so beautiful and smiling. All I can say is, “Thank you God for my mom. Thank you for such a great gift.” And to my mom, I will always say, “I love you mom, forever.”
Here is a fiction story from the internet, author unknown, that pictures what moms really are.

A baby asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?”
“Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.”
The child further inquired, “But tell me, here in heaven I don’t have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.”
God said, “Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel’s love and be very happy.”
Again the child asked, “And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don’t know the language?”
God said, “Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.”
“And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?”
God said, “Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.”
“Who will protect me?”
God said, “Your angel will defend you even if it means risking it’s life.”
“But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.”
God said, “Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you.”
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, “God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel’s name.”
“You will simply call her, ‘Mom.'”
