“Everybody wants to save the Earth; nobody wants to help Mom do the dishes.” —P.J. O’Rourke
Tonight after my brother’s birthday dinner, I dried a few dishes while my mom washed them. Mostly I just stood there admiring her hands as they scrubbed the plates. Her hands are so familiar to me, but tonight I really saw their beautiful. My mom is truly an amazing woman, and I think I just fully realized that a few hours ago.
I wish I could undo all the yelling I did at her during my teen years, but I can’t. I guess I’m going to have to spend the rest of my days loving on her that much more!
