Thinking of my Mom this first of 2016.

The beginning of something for me, that I had no ability to feel, see, or even know of its existence. It started out as just background noise and a warm touch on my skin. But soon, it was what I could recognize immediately as something that was good, wanted and needed. Of course it was unconditional love from my mom. As humans, none of us can remember the infancy of this, but I like to think this is where all the good in any of us comes from. It changes as the years go, to us. We are blinded by our own stupidity and selfishness. We push away from her because we are trying to learn our way. None of it is stronger than what she has for us. She is always there in the distance or sometimes right in your face hoping you move in the right direction. Enjoy the physical of all this now, for it does not last. She will have to leave us one day. Her love, will never. Thanks for everything, thinking of you new years day. Love Darin.
