All the best and greatest respect to all the great mothers out there ,living or deceased.
I’m lucky enough to still have mine. we all tend to take our parents for granted in
our younger years (I’m guilty) but as we age I believe we respect them more…
My mother has been taking care four childrens whole life and now continue to taking care the grand children. There should be esteem job title for that.
My mother recently saved a pig roast because she was caring a light I give her. My parents said that everyone was very impressed with the output. The part of the story that bothered me was that she was going down a flight of stairs and was using the flashlight to see the steps in the dark. Someone ran up to her half way up the steps (2 story high deck), took the flashlight and ran it over to the pig roasting area. I told her that if anyone every tries to pull anything from my hands without asking (especially a light), they will receive an immediate and painful lesson in manners. It's a good thing I wasn't at the party. My mother said it didn't bother her because they needed the light. That's my Mom, prepared and kind.
At an impressively senior age, my mom completed electronics courses so should could get away from the office politics in her sales job and get re-assigned to a higher-paying-role troubleshooting data circuit failures in a section of the company where she was the only woman.
I’m 44 and my mom never forgets to call me and wishes me a happy birthday. And when I see her the next time after my birthday she still gets me a gift.
My mother would get up at 530am every morning to cook my dad breakfast before he went to work and then cook supper in the evening. Parents are some of the few people you can truly depend on no matter what.
