[LISTEN] Dave Reads Heartfelt Letter About his Mom for Mother’s Day
Dave wrote a letter to his mom for Mother’s Day and it is both heartwarming and humorous.
Dear mom,
I know I don’t need to tell you how much I love you and how special you are, because you already know that from all the homemade valentines I made you out of red and pink construction paper back when I was in grade school. I know how much they meant to you, because you saved every single one, and still keep them in a box in your bedroom.
You also keep a box of dead batteries and another filled with expired Target coupons, but I’m sure, of the 3, my valentines are your favorite!
Raising me must have defined the phrase “patience is a virtue”. When I was 9, and really into NASA and the space program, I still remember the look on your face, when I simulated an astronaut re-entering the atmosphere…by putting my sister in a big truck tire, and rolling her down a hill, into the ravine. You took my Atari away for 2 weeks, and I now realize that was a just punishment. I also realize that next, I should probably write an apology letter to my sister.
And, the true sign of how wonderful a mom you are to me, is reflected in how much I learned from you, and use in my own parenting. I don’t have any human kids, but I am a parent to a 4 year old dog, Clover.
I find myself saying some of the EXACT same things to Clover that you used to say to me, like:
I LOVE TO CUDDLE WITH YOU, TOO, BUT COULD WE POSSIBLY DO IT WITH YOUR BUTT FACING THE OTHER DIRECTION?
YES, YOUR PUPPY-DOG EYES ARE VERY SWEET. But NO, YOU CANNOT HAVE CHOCOLATE
And…
Pleeeeease, don’t poop in the neighbor’s yard
Finally, biology isn’t what makes someone a mother. Being adopted by you and dad, is what happens when someone wishes upon a star. You may not have my eyes or my smile, but from that 1st day, you always had my heart.
Happy Mother’s Day
Ps- next time I come home, I’m throwing away those batteries & coupons.
Dave
