Dear Mom, I’ll Never Be Too Old to Stop Needing You

An open letter to my momma:

Dear mom,

How could I ever find the words to describe how much you mean to me? All the times you told me how much you loved me growing up, but never fully realizing the magnitude of those words until I had children of my own.

I am grown, married, and a momma to my own herd of children, but I’ll never stop needing you.

I’ll never stop needing the way you step in to help when I feel like I’m drowning.

I’ll never stop needing to hear your voice when I pick up the phone to call you and tell you about the most random things.

I’ll never stop needing you to hug me and pat my hair like you did when I was little.

I watched you sacrifice and put us first time and time again.

I watched you make sure our needs were always met first before your own.

I watched you give your all to make sure you raised good humans.

Momma, I’ll never be too old to ask you what you’re making me for supper on my birthday.

I’ll never be too old to sit on your couch with a cup of coffee while we visit.

I’ll never be too old to call you for advice and wisdom.

Dear mom, I’ll never be too old to stop needing you.

Thank you for everything you do for me every day. Thank you for mothering me still today.

Here’s to the mommas.

Mother waving in the driveway
by Kelli Bachara

My mom still waves goodbye to me. She stands out on her driveway and waves. Sometimes even blows me a kiss. She still makes me meals when I come to visit. All of my favorite meals are made by her. There is just something about the way she cooks. She still buys me random things she sees at the store that she thinks I will like. She is usually right.  She still lets me call her when I’m bored and just need someone to talk to. She still gives me a hug that will break down any wall I have...

Better Late Than Never: An Apology to My Mother
In: Grown Children, Motherhood
Three generations mom, grandma and child
by Angela Williams Glenn

Dear Mom, I didn’t begin to understand the unrealistic impossible expectations I put on you. I would easily forgive Dad’s transgressions. He could do no wrong in our eyes and though we loved you deeply, as children we’d tend to see what you did wrong before we’d see what you did right. The expectations that you should be the one to take care of everything and then not understand your frustration of feeling overwhelmed was unfair. We expected you to do it all, to be it all. Your title was mother, after all. To us, you were superwoman. There are...

Dear Mom, There is so much I didn’t know about you and so much I didn’t notice growing up with you.  But now I see it. I didn’t know all the little comforts and conveniences you gave up for me. I didn’t realize that you took cold showers so I could have a warm bath. Or that you always shared your food—even when you were hungry—because I asked for it. You always gave me the best bite or the bigger half. Or how you would give me your pillow in car rides even though you wanted to use it. You...
