Missing My Beloved Mom

Every time I see aged women, it brings me lots of memoy and I will long for my mom. My parents passed away for many years. I always envy people who are able to take care of their age parents. I feel this is the best way to fulfil our filial obligation for the good life they have provided us.
This year Mother's Day falls on 9th. Being not able to celeberate this special day with my mom (in heaven). I guess I would say to my three wondwerful children, friends and relatives that the best gift for a mom is caring, loving and understanding. "Happy Mother's Day".
