It’s shameful that I don’t call her more often. I hope to call, at the very least, every other week. That’s really not even enough.
How to call my mom more
How I did it: My mom and I have a close relationship, but lately life has been getting in the way. Due to a major lack of communication added with alot of speculation we have not talked in a week. That is the longest we have ever not talked to each othe. I finally had to set pride aside and go to her house and fix the miscommunication. I am really glad I did. Not talking to her SUCKED! Every time in the week something awesome would happen I would instantly think I would love to tell my om but I cant were fighting. I am so happy I humbled myself and followed Gods words of honoring my mother. I would of been so mad at myself for the rest of my life if I had chosen to let this continue. I will again call my mother at leat once a day! Call me a mommas girl thats all good. Thats what I wanna be! <3
Lessons & tips: DOnt be prideful when it comes to appoligies because you never know what can happen tomarrow. And there is no worse feeling then regret!

Its not as much of a chore as we all think it is. I live cross country from my mom and miss her everyday! When I call her, or answer the phone when she calls me .. Its like we are sitting down at the table together just chatting. Not every call has to last 3 hours.Sometimes it more like 15 minutes, just to let her know how I am doing and find out whats new back home. It means so much! I am glad I make an effort to call 3 times a week. We never know when this chance will be gone forever…try to remember this!
...it finally happened!
What is it that happened?
I actually called my mother on her birthday. I could tell you a story filled with excuses and still it would not change the fact that this is the very first time, in my lifetime, that I actually called my mother on her birthday.
It felt great…;-) She was out of town and did callback thanking me for calling.
It is never to late all one has to do is decide.
With love,
James
I did call my mom more and now, when I go to pick up the phone and realize that she won’t be there to answer it, it sucks. God, I miss her.
I really need to do this. I live only about 6 miles from my parents and I hardly see or talk to them. It’s not because I don’t want to, it’s just hard to find time to call ANYONE! I have eight kids and I homeschool, so I am busy 24/7. When I do call they (the kids, not my parents!)are so noisy in the background that it makes it almost impossible to carry on a reasonable conversation. Still, I know it’s important. I am going to really work on this one.
