A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.- Tenneva JordanToday is my mom's birthday. She is 64. She is the youngest, most inspiring, most beautiful, most unbelievably strong woman that I have ever met. I pray to God daily that I turn out like her. I pray to God daily that I inherit at least a few traits that she inherited from her strong amazing mom. I pray to God that he keeps her safe and healthy for years and years to come. Because I cannot imagine being on this earth without her in my corner. It is unthinkable..So, I will continue to pray daily and hope that God is listening...
A letter to my mother
You gave me wings, you let me fly. And taught me that I will never have to fly alone. That all my journeys whether they are ones that you would take or not, that I had your blessing to take flight. And, I would like to think that I succeeded at them all but I know that I did not, but I had your blessing to try..and that made the crash landings so much softer. And I had some crashes...but at the bottom on the ground after I called to tell you that I was "flying" home...there you were..waving your arms in the air " this way..this way..I'm down here..I will catch you".. and you always did. Every time..and you still do.
Thank you for every single lesson you have taught me. Thank you for letting me fail and for never saying I told you so and If you wanted to say it..I never knew. Thank you for your advice, your support, your compassion. Thank you for waking up when I call at 3am upset over whatever..thank you for wanting to have me around. Thank you for always telling me you love me when we hang up the phone, and for always telling me your love me in your emails.
Thank you for listening time after time after time. Thank you for letting me take out my frustrations on you and then so freely accepting my appology when I have. Thank you for not taking it personally. Thank you for always having my back. For always being on my side..and for "carefully" telling me if you thought that I was wrong. Thank you for giving me the strength to love and the guts to walk aways when it is time to go.
Thank you for giving me my self esteem, my ability to laugh at myself, my work ethic, my love of animals, my love of people.
Thank you for being my best friend in this world. And for showing me daily the definition or what a real women is.
Thank you for being my mother and my father.
Happy birthday to the greatest friend I have ever had, my best friend..my mother.
