Hey there! Yes, you—put down whatever you’re doing and pick up the phone. Call your mom today, not tomorrow. Don’t wait for a special occasion or plan it for next week. Make the call right now. Prioritize her today.
Trust me, she won’t see it coming. She never expects such gestures, and at this very moment, she’s likely thinking about you. She’s curious about what you’re up to and how you’re handling life.
She’s concerned for your well-being, wondering if you are taking care of yourself—mentally, physically, and emotionally. Maybe she’s recalling those moments when you didn’t take care of yourself, like that time you went bungee jumping while studying abroad. Just the thought of it makes her uneasy.
She’s pondering whether you’ve learned how to love and be loved. She hopes you’re being considerate and kind to others. She worries about your job and whether financial stress is weighing you down. “Do you need money?” she might be thinking, still convinced you could use a few new undershirts. Yes, she’s still that mom. Roll your eyes if you must.
She wonders if the lessons she taught you have made a lasting impression. Can you still hear her voice? Sometimes, it echoes in your mind, just like you can hear your own little voice from when you were in kindergarten. It brings her back to a time when she was a young mother, and even now, as you navigate adulthood, she wishes for your happiness and success.
So, tell her you love her. Call her now and let those words flow. When she starts asking her usual questions, gently interrupt her. Say something like, “No, Mom, just hold on a second.”
This call is meant to be about her, not you. You reached out to check in—how is she doing, what’s new in her life? You want to know if her heart is content. She’ll probably respond with something like, “Of course, dear, why wouldn’t it be?” because she never wants you to worry.
This time, focus on listening. Give her the same attention she has always given you. Celebrate her the way she has cheered for you your entire life. Let her know that, yes, her voice is a guiding presence in your life—a soft whisper of love and encouragement that you carry with you.
Ask her opinion about the world. She’ll be delighted, her heart will flutter with joy. You might be surprised to learn how insightful she can be. Your questions will nourish her spirit in ways you might not fully grasp. These moments are far more meaningful than a card or a perfunctory call on Mother’s Day.
Remember, your mom is your mom every single day, but she’s also an individual with her own life and experiences.
