Rusty posted a beautiful piece on Mothers in here.
This will be my first Mother's Day without my Mom.
It's the Happy Place forum, so that means there is no sadness, just memories now of a lovely woman who raised 5 kids, plus a step.
She was the best Mother anyone could ask for.
She was stern, yet gentle, and she was beautiful. Physically beautiful until the day she died.
She had a killer sense of humour.
She was a good cook, loved Dad with a passion that burned (yes, they were hot for eachother for all those years until Dad died. He used to sweep her up and kiss her and we'd clap and giggle when he'd come home on leave).
She was so many things and put her family above all else, always.
We came first.
I used to think I had more of my Dad's personality traits, but as I age, I realize I am more my Mommy.
She was a class act, and I miss her.
For all of you who still have Moms living, hug them and make them feel that love this Sunday.
For those of us who don't.. remember that they were the one who carried you, loved you, shaped and molded you.
