SHE
She doesn’t just baby-sit her grandsons . . . she reads stories, plays pirate, makes crafts and bakes goodies. She takes them swimming, to the zoo, the library and the park. She shows them what love and fun look like when they’re woven together.
She doesn’t just help me at my house . . . she paints, cleans, gardens, tidies, sews and does laundry – all without being asked or expecting anything in return.
She doesn’t just clean her aging parent’s apartment every other week . . . she shows them companionship, respect, thoughtfulness and love.
She isn’t just friendly . . . she has lots of friends. She’s well liked by many and knows what loyalty means.
She hasn’t just been married to the same man for 40 years . . . she has shown me that love means patience, devotion, understanding and friendship.
She isn’t just my Mother . . . she’s my role model, my teacher, my inspiration, my confidant, and my friend.
Happy Mother’s Day to my Mom, and all the rest of you. Hope you’re enjoying your day.

Great tribute to your mother. I can certainly see the family resemblance in the picture.
That probably isn’t even your mother. That’s probably just some stranger who looks like she could be your mother you took a picture with for the purposes of this blog.
