Today would have been my Mother’s birthday! I think my favorite memories of my Mom are the times that I got to spend alone with her. With such a large family there was always a crowd, so many people and so many things going on that when I occasionally got the chance to be with just her it was always special.
I have sweet memories of sitting at the bar in the kitchen talking with her while she cooked on the night before Thanksgiving and Christmas. I really loved Saturdays after all her shopping and housework was done she sometimes liked to watch scary movies (always clutching her current book) we would sit together and get spooked watching these silly movies. I remember most weeknights my Mom would ask me how my day had gone and then she would listen to me tell her every minute detail of what had transpired in my day. This was no easy feat as I stuttered terribly when I was young. What a great Mom to endure that every night!
Sometimes parents teach their children lessons they never really set out to teach. My Mom was an inspiration to me. She taught me to be strong and courageous and she taught me the responsibility and importance of creating a life that I love to live. From one Mom to another – great job Mom!!
Happy Birthday Mom!
