wadt... ~mother's day~
ADD: this munsch story reminds me of my mom who died on march 19, 1989 at 3:05 am...i remember it like it happened yesterday...a week prior, cancer had ravaged her body...she weighed about 80 pounds, and we went to a chinese herbalist's home for treatment in china hill...she was so weak, i had to carry her up the stairs and could not believe she was so light...i can't help but remember the many times she carried me to bed from the car when i was a kid...the times i pretended to be asleep...

I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be...I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my Mommy you'll be.~ robert munsch~

dear mom,
...this week is your birthday...i think i
remember it so easily because it's so close to mine...i miss you...but
you already know that because i tell you that so often...sometimes when
i'm sitting on the beach, looking out at the curvature of the horizon
over the ocean, i think of you...i wonder if you could hear me...i
wonder if you could hear my thoughts...i like thinking of you...i like
remembering the times you looked at me with "those" eyes...you didn't
say anything, but i knew what you were saying....and
thinking.....thanks mom...remember the times i faked like i was sick
and didn't want to go to school?...i always wonder if you knew i put
the thermometer on a light bulb to pretend i had a fever...i guess you
must have known, because it probably showed i had a temp of 110 degrees
many times ...and you always let me stay home...i did miss school a
lot...and you never complained or got on my case once...i guess that's
the benefit of having older brothers and sisters that put you through
your early parenting trials before me......mom, i wish so much that you could see
tim, nat, and aaron right now...they are so much like you...they remind
me of you sometimes...when i'm in their rooms, when they're sleeping, i
just stare at their faces and i swear sometimes i can see you...you'd
be so proud of them..they are great kids...your grandkids...i know how
much you liked to rub their little feet as babies, and i have always
done that for you...i also rub their heads and backs to comfort them
when they are tired or sick...they call me almost every day on the cell
phone just to say hey daddio...and joni shows them the same kind of
kindness you had, and they learn about you through her...she's a great
mom, just like you.....i like thinking of you mom...remember how
i promised you i would take care of dad...well, he's doing good
now...he just got back from china today, and he's pretty healthy...he
misses you a lot too......well, mom, happy birthday...i'll remember
to eat my greens, and wear my jacket to keep warm...and i'll keep the
salted plum intake to a minimum...NOT....hahahaha...i love
you....dennis (nattie calls me fatitude...har)...(nat, A found my cell and my wenis/back is better now,(sry i mssed calls) so yes i can getoutta bed...har har)

Awe, I like that. Very nice indeed!
"salted plum"...i wonder if u r talking about those snacks from chinese grocery stores that are quite salty and yet slightly sweet...traditionally, well, at least in mainland of china, it's perceived as a pregnant lady's snack!....hahaha.....sometimes i wonder if i'm visiting the rite site, because i didn't know Mr.simpson could be so sentimental and sweet too.
I love that book.
Your Mom would be very proud of the father you are to your kids.
Aw....
ryc: heh heh I was a party pooper that night, freakishly tired and just wanted to stretch out on the couch and watch a good movie, happy birthday to me
nice
That is nice. I'm sure she is very proud.
losing a parent is tough...
running lots = feet & hips hurting!
ryc: No. I've never liked MySpace, though I do have an acct. Maybe I'm just growing out of all this.
u are so sweet to your mommio.
hey, i'm glad you met my BF. I asked him if you seemed like a crazy person and he said, "nah, he seems a'ight" can't wait to meet you guys *stalk**stalk* heh
nice post.
Ryc: No you didn't. That will be nice to have two of them in one location. I still have not met Nat, haha, and I hope to e finishing up just as he shows up so I may miss A too. Is T home from China yet?
Big hug, my man...even though you have a wenis.
God bless your family. Wonderful post!
