My computer has suffered a memory bug and a virus all in one. The bugs have been eliminated and now I am back to my blog outlet. In the interim, this meant that I had to find therapy in the form of my daily phone calls to my mother. My mother, by the way, ROCKS! She does it all and more, and she is there for anyone that truly needs her...however she doesn't do drama...at least...not too much. Not more than is healthy. Ahem.
Anyway, that great mother that I lovingly call every day is now here with me. She traveled all the way down to see me and her two crazy grandsons on at great Southwest Airlines ticket fare. Life is perfect with her here.
Isn't it funny that all things can be completely screwed up, but when your "Mommy" arrives it is all better. As we approach Mother's Day I am constantly wondering how I can live up to the standard that my own mother has set. She is independent yet loves to be in the company of others. She is a leader yet still recognizes when she can learn from those around her (regardless of age). She is hopeful...to a fault. She is feminine yet bold. She is beautiful and so real. She is intelligent but innocent. She is fun but cautiously realistic. She is loyal and morally grounded. She is my mom...and I want to be just like her.
Alass, I love you and love that you help my mom be the woman that she is...every good woman needs a true and loving friend to allow a woman to really live to her potential as a woman, mom, sister, daughter, and friend.
To all Mothers out there and to our Mother's best friends...Thank you!
