Forty one years ago I was lucky enough to be born to a young mom named Kathy. She and my dad already had a two year old and I am sure were barely making ends meet. I believe my dad was working three jobs to support us all. Mother was a mere eighteen at my birth, a kid, but somehow she figured it out and was a natural at mothering. My childhood was great. She was always fun to be around. Mom played with us, we made homemade cookies, we were always going on outings. My every need was meet, I was loved.
I have no idea why I was so fortunate to get her as my mother. She is still my closest friend and confidant. As I became older it became so apparent that not everyone was as blessed as I. I just thought all moms were like mine.
Mom, if you read this I want to say thank you for becoming my mother forty one years ago. You are so special and thank you for never making me feel unloved one day of my life!!!! I love you more than you know! Lorox the Clorox
So....make me cry. Thanks for making me feel like mother of the year, even though at the time I was sure I was making many mistakes.
ReplyDeleteI love you too, kiddo.
