I have a friend who lost her mother in January.
I’m sure it was like this some in middle school, but I remember it mostly during high school. There aren’t many young ladies your age who will admit to how they treat or have treated their mothers in the past or present and I admire you for that. The point is that you make an effort and start because tomorrow is not promised, and you never know if/when you may have to put on your white rose.
And with a sigh she said, “now, here I am having to wear a white rose.” My grandmother passed 12 years ago, and although this was the first time I’d heard my mom say this, I was sure that she’d thought about it each year during Mother’s Day as she went to put on her white rose. 5

God gave you your mama. You're gonna need my help someday I'm no stranger, don't drive me away. And all I could do is cry and promise myself that I would make a better effort to build a stronger relationship with my mother!
Also, I sometimes find myself not wanting to be bothered and closing myself in; and as a result, shutting others (including my mom) out.
And I don’t always understand why.

But, in the nick of time, the “bad” son came around and offered to take his mother in; saying, unlike his brother, he didn’t have much money, but she was welcome to what he did have.

We went to school together, and she’s the same age as me.
Hello Ciara, first of all my hat is off to you. I do know one thing though, like my mom, I hope I never have to wear a white rose.
I agree that sometimes it feels like mothers just don’t understand. Eventually, the “good” son’s wife insisted that his mother be put in a retirement home because she was “getting in the way” and against his better judgment, he agreed.
