I have an amazing mother, one who has always believed in me, always supported me, always told me I could be who I wanted to be. She didn’t just mouth the words, though; she lived them. She went back to school to get a degree in journalism. For part of her degree, she had to take a foreign language, and I treasure the memories of getting up early to help her with her flash cards. She went back to school again when I went to college, and it was lots of fun commuting with her and even taking a class together.
Today is not just Mother’s Day; it’s also her birthday (29 again!).
She’s still here, still supporting me, even though I live far, far away now. I can only hope I’m as good a mom to my kids as she still is to me.
I love you, Mom.
aww! That’s such a sweet, tender tribute.
I’m not a mommy myself, but I enjoy wishing Happy Mother’s Day to all my friends who are moms! Virtual flowers, chocolate and maid service for all!
Thank you! Sadly, the virtual maid service seems to leave real dust untouched.
The body ages, the mind doesn’t have to.
Thank you. I love you, too.
