If you love your mama tell her you love her every year, every month, every day, every hour, every minute, and every second.

If you love your mama take her by the hand and walk her to the window and show her the sun shining, and tell her you are the light of my life.

If you love your mama take her flowers and put them in a vase and tell her that they smell fresh and beautiful as the day she birth you.

If you love your mama take her to a mall or her favorite store and buy a gift that is not too small but not too large and tell her it is not the big things that matter , but the small things that you continute to do for me..

If you love your mama take a walk with her and tell her that there was only one set of foot prints and those were your momma's. You carried me when I didn't have the strength.

If you love your mama look her in the eyes and tell her that you see yourself through her.

If you love your mamma and you walked away but she didn't.

Then, tell your mamma, I Love You..

I enjoyed reading your article Lawrence because it came straight from your heart. You 'loved your Mamma'. I especially liked - "If you love your mamma and you walked away but she didn't. Then, tell your mamma, I Love You.". That's the beauty of mothers; unconditional love. I've always known no matter what, my mother will love me and be there for me just as I am and always will be for my own children. Your mom is blessed to have you for a son Lawrence, because I'm sure you do all those things you describe and often it's the little things that mean the most.
Thanks for writing!
