Mothers... an offshoot into OT! Hi Pamela & Candace

[Guest guest]

Those are beautiful emails. Growing up my Mother was a Mom and Dad to me. She

was a very strong woman that worked 2 jobs to raised the 2 of us. She was on the

strict side but for good reason and I didn't always agree with her at times but

looking back, she was right. Now she's 81 yrs old and frail with failing

health and I now cook her dinners from her old favorite recipes and a few I have

sent to the group here, and I now have to make sure she takes her medicine and

puts a sweater on. I wish everyone had Mothers like ours...........

mother was/is wonderful. I can honestly say that I had a great

childhood. My mother was caring, unselfish and always there when I

needed her. I always knew I could talk to her about anything, and I mean

anything. Yes, she had rules but now that I think back on them they

weren't anything too restrictive and actually they helped shaped the

person I am today. She never put me down, always encouraged me to be me

even if she didn't agree w/ what I was into at the moment. I feel bad

that other people couldn't experience what I did as a child. My Mom is

still around and she is still my best friend. We don't always see eye to

eye but we respect each other. I admire her greatly.

Maybe I'm in a minority when it comes to Mom's but I'm glad to be there.

I do hope that you mothers out there can create the relationships with

your children that you didn't have w/ your Moms.

Your email was beautiful as well. Your Mother sounds like a wonderful

person. One question - did you ever tell your Mom she was right? I did

one time. We were out to dinner and we got talking about things and I

admited to her that she was right about just about everything she ever

told me. The look on her face was awesome. I that may secretly be the

one of the things that would make a Mother the happiest to have their

children tell them they were right. Your are absolutely correct,

everyone should have mothers like we do.
