For those of you that know my mom, you probably didn't know that the woman has the biggest heart! Despite what my heartless sisters my say, my mom really is a swell woman.
Some of my earliest memories of comfort and happiness actually stem from her. From her smile when you did something great, to her standing by the stove with a cigarette (you REALLY were bad) and drinking a cup of coffee when you got home from school. Yes, even the discipline was sometimes a form of comfort. (I know, I need a shrink)
I feared the woman more than anyone else. More than the police, principal, or God himself!
But I also love this woman. When it stormed late into the night, all 3 of us girls would hightail it down to the couch, where mom would make sure we were comfy. I remember watching the storm pass while she sat in the ugliest green chair ever.
Even though I didn't know it at the time, she loved us so much that she didn't want us to get fat by keeping all things sweet and sugary out of our diets. Ok, so it only worked until we moved out, now look at us. But her heart was in the right place.
Now as an adult, we still rely on her for all things comfy and not so comfy, but in the end we all know that in a pinch, the woman will come thru. After all, she is our mom.
So mom, Happy Birthday old girl. I'm looking forward to many more old timer stories and crabby moments with you.
I love you mom!
