Took me a minute to understand that you must have kids and that the sexy panties are for your wife. Scared the shit out of me when the answer was
"some sexy panties . well i guess i get the benifit from that . i get to look. lol"
OMG I just snorted my coffee.
I am packing up the GF and Chihuahuas and driving up to visit (its less than two hours). I typically send flowers and such at random times instead of holidays. I think she has to think about them a little more, like "Is there a holiday coming? No? Why did I just get this bouqet? Oh, I get it, I'm a good mother!"
I will take her to dinner Saturday night, and cook breakfast Sunday, and cook dinner Sunday Night.
I've said this in another post, but I think Mom's are the best invention on the planet. My mother is 72 and would fight a pack of grizzly bears in a second for one of her children. She is selfless. She is the most precious jewel on this planet and I love her and care for her with all my soul.
Let my let some of you younger guys in on a little secret. When you call your Mom on her "special day" or any other day to "make her feel special", you are the one that is going to get the best of it.
Do not take your mother for granted. I lost my father. My mother is on oxygen full time. I cannot imagine the loneliness I will feel on this earth when she is not with me. I am not the perfect son, far from it, I have always been and will always be the "black sheep" of my family. She does not require perfection. She does, however, require that I be happy.
Saturday, the mother of one of my best friends growing up (across the street) passed. This guy is 50 years old, a father, 6'3 360 lbs. The first guy I ever lifted weights with. He has served a few years in prison. He is a biker and former gang member. He is one of the legit "tough" guys I know. He is kind and loving. He is a quivering mess this week. I'm going to see him again Saturday to try to help pull him together. That is the power of a mother. Do not take yours for granted. It does not matter if she is not perfect in your eyes. She is more than you know.
My thoughts go out to all of you whose mothers have passed.
