Mother

I don't remember the last thing we laughed about - - because we just cracked the heck up. It was at Mother and Dad's...usually is. We all have such a good time doing nothing there!

Never thought I'd call my Mom Mother. But eventually, despite my best efforts, it trickled down. See I always called her Mommy or Mom. But she always called her mom 'Mother.' I guess now that she has held the position of family Matriarch for so long, Mother is well deserved.

Moms generally take the backseat for their families, but I think my Mother has done this to the Nth degree. You see, just as her youngest child (yours truly) got out of the house, she had 8 grandchildren. She's always a busy bee, but you'd never know. She never runs out of time for any of us.

Since Dad's stroke, I have been even more amazed. She STILL has time for every person in our family! I know, I know....amazingness. I am so glad God blessed us with our SuperMom. And no, you cannot borrow her - she's ours.

Don't have a clue what we'd do without her. She's going in for a heart cath very soon. As of 6 years ago, she is a member of the 'zipper club' - her and Dad have both had open heart surgery. But it's time for another cath for my Mother.

God will be with her and she will do fine, but I wanted to let her know how very much we appreciate her selflessness. The picture above captures it perfectly. To Mother, it's not about her, it's about her loved ones - - - and each one of us are better people because of the 'Mother' that she is. Thanks Mother. :) Love you!
