Next weeks topic: Memories of your Dad
When I was
growing up I believed my mom was a super hero!
She was raising five children solely on her own, and was always there
for each one of us. I have so many
memories of my mom that I could discuss, but what I want to focus on are the
small things I remember…..like her hands are always so soft!!
I always
loved holding my mom’s hand and feeling her soft skin next to mine. My husband even once commented to me about
how soft my mom’s hands were.
My mom loves
to read! When I was growing up, she
always had a book with her no matter where we were. In those days she loved true crime
novels. Nowadays she can still be seen
with a book in hand no matter where she goes, but now she loves historical
fiction.

| Me & my Mom on my wedding day 6 September 1997 |
My favorite
meal my mom made when I was growing up was lasagna. After my twins were born, she asked me what
she could do to help me out and I immediately responded with “Make me your
lasagna!”
For the most
part, I remember my mom being a pretty laid back parent, but when she got
angry, she really got angry!! When she
would point her finger at you, you KNEW you were in BIG trouble! Her punishments ranged from a smack to being
“grounded” to having a horrible cleaning chore like scrubbing toilets!
My mom was always
someone I could talk to. No subject was
ever off limits and I never had to worry about her getting upset with me if I
talked about sex or drugs or any other “adult” topic.
Today my Mom
is my best friend! We enjoy going to
lunch together and having girls days out shopping.
Do you have a memory of your Mom you'd like to share? Link up here if you do!
