Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! You are a blessing.
Unfortunately, I lost my mother to multi-system organ failure in 2006. I remember listening to U2’s “All That You Can’t Leave Behind” in the days before she passed, and I heard “Kite” for the first time. I had to pull the car over and cry, for that song made me realize she was going to die. And when she did, a massive hole was left in my life that I’ve never been able to fill. Her love for me was unconditional, no matter how badly I behaved or how unappreciative I could be (especially as a teenager!). So Happy Mother’s Day in Heaven, my dear Mom.
