Dear God，

    Now that I am no longer young，I have friends whose mothers have passed away．I have heard these sons and daughters say they never  2 1  appreciated their mothers until it was too  22  to tell them．

    I am  23  with the dear mother who is still allve．I appreciate her  24 each day．My mother does not  25  ，but I do．  26   I grow older and wiser．I realize what a(n)  27  person she is．How sad that I alil    28  to speak these words in her presence，29  they flow easily from my pen．

    How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for giving her llfe I  30’ For the love，patience and just plain hard work that go into  3 l  a child? For 32  a toddler，for understanding a moody teenager，for tolerating a college student who thinks she knows  33 ？ For waiting for the day  34  a daughter realizes her mother really is？

How does a    35    wonlan thank for a mother for continuing to be a mother？For being ready with advice (when asked ) or  36   silent when it is most appreciated? For not saying:”I  37you so ,”when she could have spoked these words dozens of  38    ?For being essentially herself-loving ,thoughtful. Patient, and forgiving?

I don’t know how，dear God，except to bless her as richly as she  39  and to help me live up to the example she has set．I pray that 1 will look as good in the eyes of my  40  as my mother looks in mine．
