Hey mom, you are missed. I saw this post on my Instagram the other day and I wanted to do my own writing. Since I’m not a video person I thought I would do my own take and do this on my website in my voice.
Hey mom,
I have two kids now one you have met and the other you sent to me to remind me that you are still around. I remember praying right before my daughter was born that I didn’t want her to be born on the 16th of April because that would be too coincidental and guess what you laughed and did it anyway. (My mom was born on Jan 16th, and I am Dec. 16th, and my daughter is April 16th)
I don’t know how you did this single-mom life. You made it look really easy but I understand that it wasn’t and I’m not very good at it at least I don’t think I am. It’s been hard really hard and I miss your wisdom because these kids are different than I was.
Guess what?
I bought a house. I wish you were still alive so I could live with you in your free house and not have to pay bills. I don’t like being an adult it sucks. The bills come really fast and it’s much higher today than it was back in your day. I also own a car with no car payments you would be proud because you taught me well on how to live below my means and that has served me even to this day. Oh, btw I got a credit card. I know I know you told me not to get one ever because it will ruin me but I learned a few things about them and they aren’t so bad. I don’t keep a balance and I only use it for points I have a lot of points to do stuff with so I’m using it wisely and I will teach my kids the same.
I guess you are up there having fun huh? Emma is there with you (her best friend and my second mom who died a few years ago) and you get to see MJ, Luther, all the greats. I wonder if y’all get to walk around heaven and see them and say, ” hey, sing me this song.
I also wonder if you miss me as much as I miss you.
Well, I’m going to wrap this up I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to you. I won’t tell your age cause you didn’t want a lot of people to know trust me I am the same lol. I see you stopping by often (red cardinals) and I know you only show up in my dreams to warn me like you did with my daughter when she was a baby (thanks for that) so continue to check up on me. Give me about 30 good more years on this earth so I can leave my kids with a good grounding and then I’ll be ready to be with you again. Until then…see ya later alligator……
My mom would say after a while crocodile.
