A mother is someone who can take the place of everyone else,
but no one in the world can take her place.
I have a Mother who has stepped in and has been the Friend that never leaves. I am old enough to value her time with me. I can't seem to attract those who will stay. I can't seem to attract those who believe in me. Yet, I am the richest girl because for all those areas of connection and commitment that I crave for, my Mother has stepped in and has been there for me.
I have been trying to bring my strengths out. I long to bring my passion into what I do for a living. I know that every time I share a personal writing of mine, my Mother is delighted and excited. I can tell in her eyes that she would love to see me surrounded in my 'babies'/ books. After sharing some of tears with her, I have decided to supplement my Mother's day gift with a book that I have written! My concept is a child's book. I would love to draw in some wonderful pictures that I have floating in my head but I really lack in the human form. It is a story about my birth and the gift of tulips my Daddy gave my Mommy in my honor. It is deep yet I hope I've kept the childlike wonder in it. It is just words inked on small papers to be tied up in a ribbon. I am anxious for her reaction...
I love my Mom.
