I know that I live a idyllic life and know there are so many who have bad relationships with their mothers, no relationship at all or lost her before you knew her. My hope for all of you that you have had a strong maternal influence who has touched your heart and life.
Growing up I don't think I knew anyone who didn't live with their biological mothers. It was probably until I moved on to Jr. High/Middle School that I ever had a friend whose parents were divorced, they were adopted, or had lost parents in one way or the other. But, like me, they all had someone to raise them and they were loved. It was not until HS until I actually learned that not everyone had that.
On this Mother's Day, I would like to salute my Mom, I wouldn't be here without her.
A mother raised you and loved you, she will forever pick you up when you fall, you will not agree with her all the time but most of the stuff she told you has now been perceived as wisdom.
My own job as Mom has been so easy. I have beautiful, successful children, I enjoy their company as I think they do mine. They have never told me they hated me, I have never been ashamed of them and have never had to bail them out of jail. I know I got lucky but would like to think it was because of something I did.
