Unconditional love. Laughter. Being there after school. Making our house a home. Picnics. Going for car rides and getting a frosty mug of root beer. Porter Wagoner movies at the Drive-In. Summer camping trips. Sunday chicken dinners and watching football. Chocolate chip cookies. Vacations 'up north' on the Deer Skin river. Pets, Roxanne and Taffy.
My mother, like yours, has her dark side and we each have irritating traits to drive each other batty but just as Pasricha found the joy in the simple, everyday things my Mother made my childhood a joyful memory with the simple things she did everyday.
What awesome moments will you share about your mom?

The sound of laughter and the spontaneity to break out into song at any minute.
ReplyDeleteAbove all, our mothers did more with less, gave us more time and energy with fewer resources. May we live up to their standards.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day, Sally.
We did the car rides too going for ice cream cones. I remember my mom working at Beneficial finance and that we could stop by and see her and she would take us for a milkshake at Newberry's across the street, I loved those times with her.
