Today is MY strong mother’s birthday!
Cheers….
To a woman who has taught me that age is just a number.
(She was pulled behind the boat on the tube this summer….
I hope I am doing that when I’m her age!)
To the woman who taught me, “If you’re going to do something, do it right.”
To the person who has never given up on me… even thought I’m quite sure I have exasperated her over the past 42 years!
To the mom who taught me that the father is the rock of the family, but that the mother is the glue.
To the person still coaches and teaches me.
As a parent…everyday I am reminded that a mother is just a woman,
who was once her own…
with her own life, desires, actions…
but who is now not her own
but whose children is part of her, too.
As a mother, I’m reminded that a mother
is a woman
who does the best she can but
will make mistakes sometimes,
and sometimes she will get it perfect.
I’m also reminded that nothing on this earth compares to the love of a mother.
To MY mom…. Happy Birthday!
I LOVE YOU!
