In Memory of my Mom.
My mom passed away several years ago but I can still hear her, still see her in my mind's eye. She was a natural red head, blue eyes, damn near perfect teeth (wish I'd inherited those teeth!) and had fiery temper. In her later years, she was a little overweight but she was still beautiful. The thing I remember most about her was her work ethic.She only went to grade school and had to drop out of 6th grade when she ran away from home after being beaten by her dad. She ended up working for an aunt, taking care of an invalid cousin. She stayed there until she was about 15. Then she met my dad and they got married.
There were only a few times I remember that she didn't have an outside job. But even working outside the home, she always made sure we kids had what we needed whether it was food or care or what have you. And she always emphasized getting an education.
You see, that lack of schooling made her feel inferior. Though she was bright and though she'd taught herself a lot, the fact that she hadn't gotten through high school shamed her. She never saw all the good things she did for us as being extraordinary--a mom did stuff like that. She taught both my brother and me to cook, to clean house, to take care of ourselves because everyone needed to know those things. She was a friend and a companion, a mother and helper.
I still miss you, mom. And I still love you.

of her head.

Lynda,
I'm so sorry to hear about you having lost your mom. I can't imagine what I'll do when I lose mine. She's gotten a little paranoid, and now every time she goes on a trip she points out her green, monogrammed bag, and tells me everything I need to know is in there. I think this came from having to tie up all the lose ends of my Dad's estate. But to me it seems a little morbid.
[Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.]
I love this line! You can tell this little girl or boy is already learning to cook and use his/her imagination!
Thanks, Skylar. Losing my mom was one of the hardest experiences I've had. All the poems and inspirational stories we see on the Internet are absolutely right. No one can replace your mother.
Wasn't that a great line? Our competition is coming right along, isn't it? :D
Great post, Lynda and a wonderful tribute to your Mom.
