Thanks, Mom.
Thanks, Dad.
I was a freshman in college at the time.
My roommate and I had decided to go downtown after my last class.
When I came into the room, he was writing a letter.
“I want to finish this before I go,” he said.
“Next Sunday is Mother’s Day, and I’m writing to tell my mother I love her.”
When he finished the letter, he started another.
I said, “Oh no!
Not another one!”
He said, “I have to write my Dad, don’t I, and thank him for picking such a wonderful person to be my mother?”
I never told my parents how I got the idea, but that evening I wrote a letter to my mother telling her of my gratitude and love, and also one to my father thanking him for choosing such a wonderful mother for me.
I knew they would be glad to get the letters.
I didn’t know how glad until the next summer.
We lived in a small town where most people knew one another.
I went to the store, and the merchant said, “Those were nice letters you wrote to your parents for Mother’s Day.”
I asked him, “How do you know?”
I found that my mother so prized the letters that she carried them in her pocketbook, and, whenever she could get someone to listen, she read parts of the letters to them.
So often we forget to express love and appreciation to those we know best, those who do the most for us.
A woman once said to me, “The more I do for my family, the more they seem to expect.
If any of them ever said ‘thank-you,’ I think I’d drop dead.”
A word of appreciation and love can mean so much to another.
A note of love left on a pillow, or under a plate, or tucked in a mirror, can cause a burst of sunshine in a loved one’s heart.
A note to a friend, or to someone who has shown us a kindness can cause joy bells to ring for that person.
