March 31st. Today is my mom’s birthday. Happy Birthday, Mom. I so miss her. While she is not with me in person anymore, she is always with me in my mind and heart. She was a mother to top all mothers.
My mother carries into everything I do every day. I carry the lessons that she taught me, the mannerisms, and adventures with me in everything I do. From how I treat others, kids, the elderly, to even my wife Michelle.
I know I may have failed sometimes in being there. I have this guilt with me all the time. However, I believe that the goodness I have done in my life and continue to do will always honor her.
So on this day, Mom, I honor you! I love you, I miss you. I need you to know I became a good man because of you!
So take time and cherish your time with your Mom, don’t make some of the mistakes I did, but just tell her you love her. It’s okay, I won’t tell anyone if you do.
Have a great day everyone, thanks for taking time to read this, if you have an comments or would like to say something, leave some thoughts below. ~Tom

I don’t think we ever get over missing our moms. Mine has been gone 35 years and I still miss her.
Happy Birthday to your Mom! Very heartwarming
This is such a heart touching article. Mothers do hold such a special place in our hearts. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. God Bless
I know your Mother would be proud of you. You served others on so many different levels. Happy Birthday to your Mom, I am sure she is smiling at you today and everyday.
Thank you for sharing. I don’t have my mom with me. But I know that some day we will be together again. I miss her and she has been gone for 9 years.
I know how you feel. My father was murdered when I was an infant. My mother was the only parent I ever had. She was the world to all her kids. After I left home, I would call her every other day and she would call me every other day. I talked to her every day. Then one day the calls suddenly stopped. I still have her answering machine and sometimes listen to her “I am so sorry I missed your call. I will call you back as soon as I can”. message on it. She has been gone almost 20 yrs and it still hurts to not be able to talk to her.
Awwww-this is so sweet! I’m sure she would be so proud of you! Sounds like she was a wonderful woman to have had such an impact on you!
I wish I could hear my Mom’s voice again. I wish I could hear her laugh. I wish I could have even one day with her again.
I’m the mother of a son; so I know the bond between mother and son.
Nice tribute to your Mom, Tom. I am so lucky to still have my Mom, and I’m thankful for that every day.
Mother’s are the most important people in our young lives, for bad or for good, because they shape us into the adults we become. I wish every Mother understood how important their job is, and took it seriously. We’d have a better world to live in.
