I wanted to say a bit about mothers.
I am lucky! I know that I am loved by women who are regarded as fierce warriors for their children. I have the honor of having four and two.
My mother Paulette, step-mother Lisa, mother-in-law Barbara (rest in peace xo), step mother-in-law Nancy, with Cyndi Lamberson and Suzie Sporleder as my alternates!
It is my experience that a mother is a person you can always count on. She will always tell you how it is even when you do not want to hear it.
She will always hold you when you cry and most times will just be silent and you know she understands, she created you after all and is in tune with your inner workings.
She will come up with odd jobs for you to help her with, when you are short on cash. She insists on paying you because she claims she could not have done it without you.
She buys extra at the store and pawns it off on you as if it would bother her to keep too much. She never lets you leave without your arms full of fruit or flowers or something.
She loves you but not your taste in clothes and music. She genuinely enjoys spending time with you and you hope she knows you adore her company. She will look at old pictures with you and marvel at how you gush over her old outfits from when she was a teen. She will never understand texting. She is the last holdout with a home phone and answering machine and no cell phone. She has a sense of humor.
A mother frets when you fret and she celebrates and hoots the first holler for you, when you are happy!
A mother is a life-giver, a life-long friend and an advocate for you always!
Paulette, is having a birthday tomorrow, February 18th. She will be Forty-nineteen and she is beautiful!
She is an entrepreneur, a gardener, a good listener and my loving Mother.
Happy Birthday to you Mom! I love you! xo
