A Sense of Doubt blog post #3700 - Hey Mom Reprint of 1166 from 2019 - All Moms Deserve Love - 3700 posts

3700 posts.

Kinda hard to believe. I have pressed "publish" 3700 times, mostly in now nearly ten years.

Still in reprint mode as I was gone all day today at a Zen center (more on that to come) and am catching up on homework and future original posts, like tomorrow's January 2025 comics.

Thanks for tuning in.

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #1166 (SoD1542) - All Moms Deserve Love

Don’t forget about your mom and all the mothers you know on Sunday. Hardest job in the world. HARDEST! JOB! IN THE WORLD!!!
Mothers are amazing. All of them. I miss my Mom every day. Cherish what you have (a sentiment may shared in essay one). Tell her you love her because one day you won’t be able to. All moms deserve our love, which is a statement I can unpack if you’re interested. :-)

The unpacking starts with how difficult a thing to do is giving birth. For that reason alone, mothers deserve our awe, appreciation, and love.
But there's usually so many other reasons.

Single Moms. Why is that such a common thing. Sure, there are single Dads but not in the same numbers as Moms.

I love you, Mom. And you knew that. I made sure I told you how much I love you in a thousand ways throughout your life but definitely in the last fifteen years of bonus time we had after you came out of your coma and survived to tell your tale.

You inspire me, Mom, just like other amazing mothers I know, like my wife.

I think about you, Mom, missing you, every day.

and PS: SO HAPPY that the Warriors won last night!! :-)

Reflect and connect.
Have someone give you a kiss, and tell you that I love you, Mom.
I miss you so very much, Mom.
Talk to you tomorrow, Mom.

- Days ago: MOM = 3565 days ago & DAD = 220 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I post Hey Mom blog entries on special occasions. I post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day, and now I have a second count for Days since my Dad died on August 28, 2024. I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of Mom's death, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of her death and sometimes 13:40 EDT for the time of Dad's death. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
