She's my help and comfort. She's strength when I don't have enough.
She's a reader of bedtime stories and a sayer of prayers.
She's a traveler of eighty plus miles one way and a singer of Jesus Loves Me's.
She's the reason my kitchen is one more evening of painting away from being Willow Tree green.
She's a thousand Thank You's and that's still not enough. She's staying until Thursday morning.
She's a piece of my soul.
She's my mom.
She's loved. Very, very much!
She's anything but just.
As someone who hasn't had a mother in my life since I was 23... I'm so glad to see that you appreciate your mum! I have had soooo many times when I WISH my mum was available to help out, have the kids for a weekend, or just for moral support on the other end of the phone! I miss my mum. And I have to confess to always feeling just slightly jealous when I come across someone with a relationship with their mum like the one I always wanted to have.
ReplyDeleteThank you for not taking for granted what some of us wish we had!
I know this may sound a little weird, and I've stumbled across your blog somehow and you have no idea who I am, lol! but I just had to tell you.
