Mother's Day: a letter for mom

He Mother's Day is falling and we are many, sure, those who have not yet thought anything to do or bought anything for our mother and, in this case, since we are in "Babies and more" and not in "moms of dads and more ”, For our lady wife, who is also a mother.

Some because we are men and as such we usually do everything at the last minute, others because we do not believe too much in the “days of” (father, mother, Valentine, etc.), and in the consumerist halo that hides behind and others Because we are little retailers.

For all of them I propose an easy solution: a letter for mom. Everyone will know what to write for his wife, of course, but in case someone walks something lacking in ideas, here I leave you with mine:

For mom, Armando, Jon and Aran: It's been four years since you were a mother for the first time and sometimes we have, all three, the feeling that we don't tell you enough how much we love you and how much we appreciate everything you do for us (I include myself in the pack, because you know, men end up being, often, a child more ... bad that we weigh). We love you because you are always there. Because even when you are tired you have a moment for us, because even when you feel the forces falter, you go with a smile, because even when the dream beats you, you are able to open your eyes, at dawn, to hug the crying baby, to the boy who is stirring in dreams and to the husband ... well, you don't hug me, you turn my head to stop snoring ... in any case thanks too. We love you because you help us to be better every day, because you know how to listen to us, because you offer us your time and your advice, because you tell us what we have failed and you explain what we could do to solve it and because there is always love even when patience seems to run out . We love you because you are always aware of us, because you sleep with an open eye, because you monitor our steps by accompanying us along the way allowing us to try and succeed or try and make mistakes, but always offering you in case we need your help. We love you because you always get there where we have fallen short, organizing the unorganizable and governing the helm of this great home we have built. We love you because you love us, because with your delivery you show us day by day how important we are for you, because with your time you give us unforgettable moments, because despite everything, you are always there to offer us a smile, a story, an experience , a moment, a laugh, a song or a game. We love you because you decided to dedicate these years to being a mother, to raising Jon and Aran, to offer them unconditional love without other obligations, without schedules, without reservations, being there at all hours in the hard and mature ones, being that caretaker to full time that any child would want for himself. In short, we love you for being as you are, for your madness and your smiles, for your laughter and your sorrows and for letting us be ourselves, with our virtues and defects, loving us as much, as much, as we love you.
