This blog article is devoted to the Mothers out there, especially MY mother. In my humble opinion, my mother is THE best of the best. Amazing, kind, funny starts off the list and it continues on and on.
I realize now that being a mom is not easy. Until I joined "the other side" I really lacked in empathy. Frankly, the little stinkers can drive me crazy. Who do I go to for a sanity check? My mother. In moments, we are yucking it up over the hilarious things the kids do. In moments my mother can bring me from the brink of a precipice to a true "Erma Bombeck moment." Her favorite response is "hmmm. . . that sounds familiar! Do you remember when you. . ." Just as when I was a kid, she helps me bring perspective and see things on the funny side. She always had a story at the ready about her childhood. I realize now that my mother gave me an incredible gift. Not only does she love me unconditionally, but she really listens to what I say and hears me. My hope is to give the same gift to my kids.
Thank you so much for being my mom. Susan Maffett, Happy Mother's Day from all of us who love you dearly.
