Mothers go straight to Heaven!
Heaven Hi, Mothers!
Nancy, the star, the mother of our three boys who are 28, 26 and 24 (so I should say “men”, but to mothers we will always be their “boys”). We were at the market to buy some groceries, because “the boys” were coming over for Mother’s Day and to watch the Lakers game. While shopping I would ask every kid I saw, “Do you know what tomorrow is?” The little girls would say, “Mother’s Day,” with glee; and the boys would say, “Lakers playoff.” The mothers would laugh and reply, “Boys will be boys.” Then it occurred to me why I missed my mom (who is no longer with us) so much on Mother’s Day, because to moms we will always be boys.
When I was 35, I went to see my mom to have a mom son talk. I poured out my heart, wallowing in the victim character, feeling sorry for myself. As the Bob Dylan song “Don’t Worry Ma, I Am Only Dying” is playing in my head, she took my sobbing face in her hands, and as she brushed the hair back she said, “Tommy Lee honey, if you would keep the hair off your forehead and brushed back you would be so handsome.” That’s why mothers go straight to heaven.
Be Bop!

FOR MOMS
By: Del “Abe” Jones
She was there at the beginning
When the world was new to you
She was there to turn to happy times
Those when you were hurt or blue.
She was there to listen to your thoughts
And when you asked, to give advice -
She was there to tell you, “Those don’t match!”
Or, “Hon, you sure look nice.”
She was there with you at nighttime
to help you say your prayers
She was there to tell you, “It’s alright.”
When you had a dream that scares.
She was there at morning time
To get you up and out of bed
She was there when you didn’t feel good (or did)
To say,”You’d best stay home, instead.”
She was there when you where hungry
and when you had those dirty clothes
She was there when you needed her
(How she knew?Only heaven knows.)
She was there at the beginning
And she’ll be there your whole life through-
She’ll be there in your mind and heart
Just like a mother is supposed to do.
Happy Mother’s Day. Please pass this to your friends.
