Dear Mother,
Every year I usually write directly onto your Mother's Day card, but after 22 years I've realized how bad my handwriting really is.
So instead of ruining a perfectly good card with my perfectly bad writing I decided to type you my thought's, on this, my 22nd Mother's Day, but for you it's your 28th.
Words can't describe what you really mean to me mom, but I guess I'm really going to have to try.
Ever since I was born all you've done is treat me the best you can & provide me with everything I needed, and sometimes didn't need in life.
You've shown me all of the love & affection only the best of mothers could & for that I've shown you 200% love back.
I know the normal thing in life is for the daughter to want to grow up and be like her mother & the son to want to grow up and be just like his father.
But knowing me, I'm not very normal and I strive to be just like both of you each & every day.
Some might call what I am a "Momma's Boy", but what I call it is the utmost respect for the woman that brought me into the world.
I know we've had our ups & downs, just like all normal families but I go through every 24th hour still loving you the same.
I know there are days where you have been proud of me & some where you've been disappointed in me but I go through every 24th hour still loving you the same.
I know that right now isn't & hasn't been the best of times for us & I know that sometimes you think I'm taking advantage, but I want you to know I'm trying hard each & every day to get back on my feet & be back at where I was a year or so ago.
I know you want to see me on my own and successful just like yourself because then that will be the ultimate feeling of producing the "perfect" child.
I want you to know though, like I said, that I am trying each and everyday to achieve that & I wish it was just that easy to acquire a job and be stable once again, but unfortunately it isn't.
But I do know that your job as my caretaker and for me to not have any responsibilities ended a long time ago.
So I understand that if I can't help out because I don't have a job, that doesn't mean I can't do things around the house.
So from now on I will start putting in as much effort into keeping the house clean as I do in my job search.
Along with this card & letter I've made you a CD, I hope you enjoy it & think about me every time you listen to it.
Also there's a framed picture of me for you to put on your desk at work, so you know that I'm always with you because you are always with me.
&& as I finish up and tell you that I Love You Mom & wish you a Happy Mother's Day.
I just hope to God that one day I make you as proud of me as you've made me as proud of you.
Love Always,
Your Son,
Robert Michael Kane
