I remember....

I remember.... For Good or Ill...my mom was my mom and I love her and think of her often. Today I celebrate the good that was my mom. * The way she would laugh. I have that laugh. My sons have that laugh. I love that laugh. * The way she would look unsure when I would challenge her on any subject. I feel bad now. I was always very cocky about how smart I was. She was always very unsure of how smart she was. She never felt good enough. She was good enough. I just wish I had known to tell her sooner. * The way her eyes sparkled when she smiled. I have those eyes. I see them every time I look in the mirror. * The way Christmas was overdone. Nobody in this world can do Christmas like my mother. Everything was sparkly and shiny. There were lights and decorations everywhere. There were presents for everyone. Everyone was remembered and everyone was welcome on Christmas. Nobody was left out. The cards went out the day after Thanksgiving every year. She made Christmas shine. She made you believe in Santa and magic. She was the surrogate parent of Christmas and she kept it well and proper all my life. * The way she loved to see new things. The things she was interested in. She would have loved the internet. It would have been her joy. She would've been getting all the neat gadgets and would've loved learning to play with them. * The way she sang like an angel when she thought nobody was listening. She felt she was an awful singer. I always knew she wasn't and told her so. But she never did believe me. * The way she'd dance. She loved music in all forms and moving to it always made her happy. * The way she was able to talk to people and make them happy. She was a good friend and she took care of those friends. If they needed something, she was there. * She was a huge proponent of hugs. And she never gave wimpy hugs. It was always a real hug. The kind that lets you know you are alive and makes you feel warm and fuzzy. * The way she would call me every other day just to say hey and see how life was. My phone bill when she was around consisted of at least $100 a month (this was back in the mid and late 80's) of calls just to her. It was worth it. I still remember those conversations. We didn't always get along so well...but we had come round to a very good relationship before she passed. Just a side note...mom left when I was 12. She left dad alone to raise the three of us . I understand why...but from that first year on, I gave dad a mother's day card every year for the rest of his life. For a number of years, he was the best mom and dad I could have ever asked for. So...on this day...I say Happy Mother's Day to my Mom and Dad. I miss you both dearly and you'd have loved your grandkids.   |
