The boundless love a parent has for their child is matched only by their capacity to embarrass them.
How to Talk To Teens About War, Pandemics, And Whatever Fresh Hell They’re Encountering This Week
You know what? You're right. Your parents’ generation is woefully unprepared to help you through this. It sucks, it’s unfair, and it shouldn’t have happened like this.
For The Hands That Held Me
Dear mother, I never told you this, but I miss you. I miss your warm touch and your comforting kisses. I miss the gentle scent of your cheap perfume, wafting through the sweet summer heat as you held me. I miss the lullabies you sang to me as a child; low, soothing, and beautiful. I miss sitting on the porch with you, listening to the windchimes and the songs of the bluejays. I miss waking up early to the sound of you singing, as if nobody else would hear; as if it was just you and the Earth alone.

Mum… I must confess that I’ve never really tried to imagine talking to you before, because I’ve just been so furious. In the beginning, when I would try to think of you, it would be physically painful. Sadness so formidable that I couldn’t function. My breath would stick in my chest. My life was tears and loneliness.

A Letter I cannot send
Dear Mom, I am writing this letter which I know that you would never see, or even know that I wrote this to you. As the mother's day was coming close, messages like "I love you, mom!", "Thank you, mom!", and "the best mom in the World!" were flooding every SNS platform with lovely pictures of mom and daughter or mom and son. It hurts me to see those beautiful pictures with messages because I cannot do the same.

I Never Told You
My mother walked this earth for eighty-four years. Her walk was anything but an easy one. Yet she held her head high and taught her children and grandchildren to do so as well. How foolish I was not see how courageous she had been in her life.

I know this letter comes almost a week after Mother's Day, but better late than never. My mother told me that even if I enjoy my job, I should work towards creating my own business - to create something for myself that I can be proud of and call my own. While having a stable job with a Fortune 500 company in corporate America is good, my mom reminded me that companies are always subject to layoffs and letting their workers go at any time with little, if any, forewarning. One day, you could have a career of your dreams with one of the largest corporations in the nation - and the next day, you could be packing your things & preparing for unemployment because the shareholders decided you were an easily replaceable cog in the corporate machine. Because of this fact of life, you need to be an entrepreneur who has their own business on the side in addition to your main stream of income.
Coming Together
Many people want to be mom's and dad's, and to those that are well we know how when our kids are away from us how it feels as part of us are gone as well. Well I felt that way and thought after my 1 st child that would go away so my wife and I had 4 more still never went away. A few months back I was talking to my best childhood friend, Her and I always had a way of coming back together and picking up like we never left each other.
Dear Mom:
Dear Mom, I have learned so much from you. You've taught me so many things: always say 'please' and definitely say 'thank you'. Clean up my mess and admit when I am wrong. But most importantly, you taught me to always tell the truth. You were always someone I could admire and look up to for following your own teachings, but I am sad to say I may have failed you. Here I am to present to you my confession: I have been lying to you my entire life.

My cancer journey
Cancer itself is unspeakable, or at least it was how I find it when I come to learn that cancer was treacherously eating my flesh inside.

Everything you need to know about kids' scooters
All you need to know about children's scooter is included in this post. Children enjoy exploring with their parents' possessions, such as cars and scooters. Your youngster watches the world and imitates your activities. They absorb information from their surroundings and wish to travel freely like other people. When purchasing any toy or object, though, safety is paramount.

My mother gave me my body
The day my mother gave birth to me was the day she says she instantly loved me. All those years she held onto that love through the process of taking care of a needy baby, to a temper tantrum filled toddler, all the way to a moody teenager, until I finally became an adult who was responsible for herself. Unfortunately, all that love she feels for me wasn't so easily passed over to how I feel about myself.

We are alive today. Both of us. You worry about me. I know you worry so much. You live your life and laugh at the TV. Dad annoys you sometimes, but you love him so much. I'm thankful that your voice is the voice with which I was raised. I know how much you care and love us four children. I know how to speak with love because you taught me how to talk.
