TA DA!! This is my mother. The woman who gave me life, discipline, and made me laugh (she's kookoo like me or should I say I am kookoo like her). I am not able to be with her this Mother's Day and I wanted to share with those who follow and/or read my blog what a wonderful person she truly is. My mom and I are a lot alike and at my age I can admit it, younger there was no way. It wasn't cool or I would notice little things and it would drive me crazy. But she is so caring and thoughtful that I realize the struggle she had to have her children because I suffer from the same thing. She brings me hope that I will be a good mother or the best I can be to my children in the future. She had me when she was young and did her best to support my father and I in any way possible. Although my parents are no longer together at some point they made a great team. The result is my siblings and I who grew up to be contributing members of society with at least a high school diploma. It was not an option as to whether I would go to college the choice was were. My mother gave me freedom (enough that I wouldn't hang myself) to see the world (sort of) and experience things she did in her youth. For a time we didn't see eye to eye on a lot of things and had not an estrange relationship but a tough one. She felt betrayed and so did I. We are back to mother daughter instead of (#$%^(& and ^%$&^*) and I am thankful for that. I missed our rants, discussions and advice she would give to me when I was being retarded or stupid in my decisions. She would always give me what she would do and then say follow what you feel is right for you. Never had she said just do what I say because I know better it was always up to me.
I hope someday I am a mother like her. She gives unconditionally even when we don't deserve it, has amazing talents (I got none of them BTW) and sees beauty in the most color things. I love ya Mom. I wish I could be there to celebrate your day but I am there in spirit.
