Mom Love


Like Father, like Mother, like Son.  Happy Mother's Day Mom!

There comes a point in a man's life when he ceases to be interested in engaging his mother in the rhetoric of religion, politics or personal beliefs, and simply wants to enjoy time spent together exploring a city and tipping back a beer.  

I am happy to have arrived at this space and eternally grateful to have a Mother as wonderful as the one I claim my own.

Happy Mothers Day Mom.

Kwonesum naika mitlite kloshe kopa tumtum kopa  maika Naha.

Kloshe konaway,

Matt

      I once saw a greeting card that had a classic x-y graph on the front. On the Y axis was Mom's intelligence as perceived by the child and on the x was the age of the child. Mom's intelligence peaked about age 5 of the child and steady declined to where it bottomed out when the child was 18. Mom's intelligence holds steady at imbecile for the next several years but makes a steady recovery as the child approaches 30 years old.
      Funny because it is a little bit true. Prepare yourself to get a whole bunch dumber in the next couple of years, but don't fret; we reap what we sow in this life. All your boys will always know how much you love them and remember all you have done for them, and that will keep Mom in their hearts forever.

      Happy late Mothers Day to you!

      I count myself a lucky man indeed.

      Cheers to you and to the memory of your departed Mother.

  3. Ahh, may all the boys be wise enough to not flat line the Y axis. Cheers!
