Mama's Boy

A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best,
but his mother the longest.
Irish proverb

I'm a mama's boy.  Always have been.  Always will be. 

Last month I had some free time on my hands so I decided to write a letter to my mother.  Nobody writes letters anymore, which is exactly why I decided to do it.  During one of our phone conversations my mother mentioned how my grandfather used to write to her when she and I were living out of state and how she really enjoyed getting them in the mail.  I stored that nugget away until I had a little time to write her and tell her the a bunch of things I've always thought but just never said. 

Here it what I wrote:

  

My mother loved the letter.  It made her cry, in a good way. I'm sharing it with the world so that everyone will know how much I care for her and to encourage others to say those things we never say because one day it may be too late.
