Everyone has a mother, whether it be your biological mother, adopted mother, step-mother or someone that has stepped in as a mother in your life. I'm going to tell you about MY mom, she is one of a kind... she's always been strong and independent. She's the one that I call for everything or nothing. At the drop of a hat, she's there to do whatever needs to be done to help me or my family. Even as an adult, I lean heavily upon my mom for so many different things. No one else can fill that spot and I surely can't count on anyone else. She's been a wonderful example of how a loving mother should be. I only hope that I am the same to my girls, throughout their lives. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't talk to her at some point about something. When she's away on vacation, I'm ready for her to be home.
I have friends that have recently lost their mothers...... I can't imagine the hurt that comes from losing your mom. That one person that understands and just knows. The one that will stand by you even when you aren't making the right decisions or choices... the one most like God, that loves unconditionally. My heart hurts for those friends. I don't know how they deal with it. I know that no one lives forever, but I sure hope my mom lives as for a very long time. She's very precious to me and my family. I think she almost enjoys being a grandmother more than being a mom! Ha! She loves her grand kids and stands up for them against everyone and everything. It doesn't matter what it is about. She will always defend them.
My momma is very supportive, but don't misunderstand, she will also tell you when you're in the wrong...when she doesn't approve. Her love for us runs so deep she only wants what is best for us and for us to make the best decisions. I often go to her for advice, and sometimes she doesn't have any to offer. But just knowing that I could pick up the phone and have her on the other end listening and understanding is enough. It's sufficient.
Going to her house even to this day is still HOME to me and feels that way. I wonder if everyone feels that way after they have left home? I know I do and I know that my girls feel that way too.
My momma is very special, one of a kind. She's a mom to not only me and my sister, but my brothers too. Many of my friends have adopted her as their mom as well... and she has adopted them. She thinks she's the one that is blessed with us, but she has no idea how blessed we are to have HER. We're the ones that were blessed to have someone in our lives to share everything with.
Aaaaawww, Meg.....she IS an amazing person, I agree. You and your mom remind me sssooo much of me and my mom, so I know exactly how you're feelings are and what exactl you're saying. I love ya, Meg. (from Mandy)
