Can never know if she’ll (‘Mommy’) be following me on this one too, but hey, you never know. So…
My every day is my mother’s day. May Hashem continue to ‘betnch’ you and ‘Tatty’ with much health, nachas (yeah, money too.. it won’t hurt), at least until 140 (compensation for those rough ones).
How do you say, write, convey a thank you for your very existence in mere words. How do you express gratitude to the one who bore, carried, fed (no easy task), cleaned (again, no easy feat), soothed, comforted, schooled, taught, trained, educated all with a SUPER abundance of patience, endurance. Middos, Hashkafah, general mentchlichkite, such fond memories… all in a manner only a loving mother can convey.
Nope, regretfully, I wasn’t of regular mold, I gave my parents a run (dash) for the little money there was. How many times did I hear, by the change of guard “Oy, what I day Froggie gave me.. I’m zonked with a migraine.. please take over”.
By now, I’ve tamed much, I’ve stopped barking, last time I took a good byte was quite a long time ago. All to my Mommy’s credit, she ‘Brained’ me good, with Sechel Hayashar, a good dose of motherly intuition and true compassion. (How much do I owe you for all those broken brush handles?) ??? ??? ??????…
?????? ?????, your tears (oohh I just know how many), my tears (ouch). Hopefully by now ???? ??????, may you “Shep Nachas” from me, from the other (better) ones, Einiklach and “Ur Einiklach”.
your
Loving Little Froggie
