I have the best Mother in the world!
I called my Mother today to wish her a happy Mother’s day. She’s really the best Mom ever. I’m sure most people say that about their Mom’s. I didn’t always appreciate her tho. Growing up my Mother and I never really bonded like Mother and Daughter should. This caused my teenage years to be less then enjoyable, more for her than myself. I put her through the ringer and back again (it makes me scared of having my own children). Shortly after my Father died I went spinning into Galaxy and I wasn’t there for her as much as I should have been while she mourned. I was dealing with the pain in a way that hurt us both. Eventually I pulled my head out of my butt enough when I decided to move clear across the country. Something happened I never knew was possible. My Mother and I, although we were thousands of miles away, bonded.
At this present day my Mother and I are not only family, but we’re also the best of friends. I’ve had to be there for her through breaking up with her first and only boyfriend (at least since my Father passed) and she’s had to be there for me through the easy and hard times of my marriage. She’s recently retired which brings to light how much both her and I have gotten older.
My Mother now has time to come to Georgia for more frequent visits. She often leaves her items here so she doesn’t have to haul so much. There is one closet in the spare bedroom that spells exactly like her. I don’t let my husband open it too much so the times I really miss her I can go to that closet and breath her comfort. Weird? Maybe. But it makes me smile just thinking about it.
So happy Mother’s Day Mom, I love you so much!
