I have a great mom and I call her everyday, well maybe 360 days of the years. I love to make sure she’s doing alright and say and hear the words, “I love you.”

When I was a boy, my mother could have said these things,

  • …to teach me ANATOMY… “If you don’t stop crossing your eyes, they’re going to freeze that way.”
  • …to teach me DEALING WITH PAIN… “When that lawn mower cuts off your toes, don’t come running to me.”
  • …to teach me about my ROOTS… “Did you think you were born in a barn?”
  • …to teach me about ANTICIPATION… “Just wait until your father gets home.”   By Carol Sumpter.
