Mommy and Me
posted in Whatever |
I was helping my mom clear out her spare room and found some old photographs. This picture above was taken in 1981. It’s amazing how much we change and grow through the years.
Growing up I remember my mom always being a hands on kind of mom. She loved my brother and I unconditionally, she took care of our boo-boos, she never let us go hungry even if that meant we had tuna casserole or goulash often and she encouraged us to do our best. She worked hard for everything she received and never minded getting her hands dirty. She always knew how to make things work and grow especially in the garden. She made many of my Halloween costumes growing up and I too hope to be able to do the same for my son. She’s sarcastic to friends and family while polite and reserved with strangers. She is stubborn and hard headed. She is smart, talented and driven. She’s a wife, mother and friend.
My mom and I are still close and I love her dearly. She can be a pill at times, but she’s my mom and I wouldn’t trade her for the world.
