Mother's Day 2024

Today is Mother's Day of 2024.

But you died and you can't celebrate Mother's Day anymore.

You were a wonderful mother and I'm your youngest son.

You died eleven years ago in 2013 when I was forty-one.

You were a kind and giving person and that is a fact.

Being generous was a trait that you sure didn't lack.

It broke my heart and it was painful when you passed away.

Even though you're dead, I wish you a happy Mother's Day.

[Dedicated to Agnes Greene-Johnson (1948-2013) who passed away on March 6, 2013]
