My Mom

14 May 2000 - Happy Mother's Day
I wanted to talk about my mom today. She is simply incredible. I can not imagine a better mother. She taught me to read. She taught me to sing. She has always, even when I was a child, trusted me and treated me with respect. She, by her example, taught me how to be a friend, and how to listen. I got my sense of humor from her. (Mine went a little overboard but it is basically like hers.) She taught me how to be a good wife. She taught me how to get along with people. She taught me to expect the best out of people. She taught me to look for the good in things. (And if you just can't find any good whatsoever,,,,,you can normally get a funny story out of it anyway. LOL) She taught me how to be a good mother. I'd like to say she taught me how to save money like she does, but I am still learning that. I'd like to say she taught me how to cook like her. But then there are lots of good resturants around these parts. (She is one of the best cooks I know of.) I'd like to say she taught me how to spell, but I can't because she taught me it was a sin to lie. LOL. She made our home so pleasant that I didn't really care if I left or not. (Therefore when I got married to Calvin it was to be with him not to get away from home.) She makes me feel special and loved every single day. I can trust her with anything. The best gift I can give my children is to be as much like her as I can be. And the best thing I could wish for anyone would be to have a mother like her. I love you Mom. Happy Mother's Day
