ONE MORE DAY

I like many of you enjoy a good book now and then. There are some books i can't put down once once I start reading and others I just can't get into. Last book I read was called " One More Day" and it told of how much influence this mother had on her son. As i read it I couldn't help but think what kind of influence did I have on my children as they were growing up?
Thinking back I remember my own mother and wish I could say she was there for me during my growing up years but she married very young and her marriage to my dad was not a good one. I hold no malice against her for she was very unhappy in her marriage. A bad marriage robbed her of the energy that she could have used in bonding with her children.
Back to the story I read , this man was thinking of ending his life cause he had lost his job and his family and not caring if he lived or died he has this car accident and his mother comes to him while he is near death and they walk back through time together for "One More Day" with his mom. sweet huh! They talk and he would remember that she would write little notes to him when he was young and say"I love you every day! " or
"I have a bottomless well of love for you! "
The end of the story is he lives !
He knew he was loved at his worst and at his best! unconditional love by his mom! The walk is over and the mother says he has to go on and live, and he finally takes a breath !
His last quote in the book is this:
"When death takes the word mom, it steals it forever."

What i think that statement means is, that there is only one real mom that we each have while on this earth and yes we can have people that can be like moms to us but you really can only have one TRUE MOM!
