Let us take a moment of the time just to pay tribute and _1_ to the person called MOM though some may not say it openly to their mother. There’s no substitute for her. _2_ every single moment. Though at times she may not be the best of friends, she may not _3_ your thoughts, she is still your mother! She will be there for you; to listen to your woes, your brags, your _4_, etc. Ask yourself “Have you _5_ enough time for her, to listen to her ‘blues’ of working in the kitchen, her _6_?” Be tactful, loving and still show her due _7_, though you may have a different view from hers. Once gone, only fond _8_ of the past and also regrets will be left. Don’t _9_ the things closest to your heart. Love her more than you love yourself. Life is __10_ without her.
