As I sit here thinking about my mom. She is having a procedure tomorrow so that she can start having dialysis. She was giving a kidney by my brother about 20 years ago and that one is failing now. My sister is going to donate hers, I wanted to do it, but dont know why I didnt get chosen. It just hit me how much longer do I have my mom for? 20 years in the service, I was gone and missed so much. Makes me start thinking how good of a son am I? It shouldnt take things like this to bring a reality check into our lives. I have so much to thank my mom for, she actually drove me to the police station when I was in my trouble teens. She had taken me their becuase I wouldnt listen or just kept getting into trouble. Eventually she got me to join the Army and that made me who I am today. She never gave up on me and was always there for me. I know Im bad at not showing enough appreciation for my mom and that needs to change. Love you mom and thank you for everything you did, because thats what made me who I am today. Your son SFC Mariscal (RET) U.S Army If you got time, say a little prayer for my mom please. Thank you lord for giving me my mom, I promise to cherish my time with her.
