If it is not one thing, it’s your mother.

Mothers day: May 10, 2009
Mothers day has come and past this year in a flash. I cherish the gifts of pictures colored
and glued with tiny little loving hands.
I stop to think, what they will choose for their life stories. Will they hold onto the loving
memories of childhood or choose to embrace the negative aspects of growing up without
perfect parents? How will they view me years from now when they are questioning their
own decisions and actions in life?
My hope is that they come to know that they only experience what they have chosen to
create. I hope they relish in the good memories and learn, forgive and release from the
bad memories.
So I will continue on, being their mother, being there for them with all my successes and
failures. Down the road, I may not always be the best mom in their eyes- but for this day,
at this moment in time I have a colored and glued certificate Worlds Best Mom
