Today is Mother's Day. In the May 2009 Real Simple magazine issue, there was an article titled-10 Questions to Ask Your Mother Now. I had intended to ask my mom these ten questions, type
them up and present them to my siblings, nieces and nephews for Christmas. Because I tend to procrastinate projects and had the childish belief that my parents would live forever, I didn't get to ask my Mom these questions. She passed very unexpectedly in October 2009 (insert big sigh).
So what I did was write out the answers for my
boys. It is rather enlightening to think about some of these questions. So if
you can, ask your mother these ten questions. If you can't, write out the
answers for your own children (you may 'hear' your mother's voice answering
them for you, too)
1. What's the one thing you would have done
differently as a mom?
2. Why did you choose to be with my
father?
3. In what ways do you think I'm like you? and not
like you?
4. Which one of us kids did you like
best?
5. Is there anything you have always wanted to tell
me but never have?
6. Do you think it's easier or harder to be a mother
now than when you were raising our family?
7. Is there anything you regret not having asked
your parents?
8. What is the best thing I can do for you right
now?
9. Is there anything that you wish had been
different between us-or that you would still like to change?
10.When did you realize you were no longer a
child?Past Mother's Day posts...
