Mothers day 2005

We took our Mom's to brunch today. I'm 44, my mom
is 68. Clint is 26 and his mom is...well...really close to my age. It
is fascinating how your prospective changes through time. My
relationship with my mom is different now that it was when I was 26. I
am different. She is different. I have disappointed her, she has
disappointed me. But none of that really matters any more. What
matters is that for a little while this weekend I got to spend time with
her, talk to her, be with her. That will not always be the case. I am
happy we spent time with our mothers today and to all my friends out
there that did not have the option, for all who've lost their mothers, I
offer my heart felt sympathies. I promise this, I will honor your loss
by trying my best to never take my mother for granted. I'm sure I will
not succeed, but I will try.
