Ya know...some people have good mothers, some people have not so good mothers. Me? I'm one of the really lucky ones. I hit the motherhood lotto because I have an absolutely super mom. There was a 7 year difference between my brother and I....so not only was I the baby, I was the last child. The baby (trust me, my brother and sister do NOT let me forget this little fact). My mom & I really formed a tight relationship. My last year of high school, my father got a job offer that he couldn't afford to refuse and ended up moving to Houston. They could've very easily taken me down to Texas, where God knows I would've been caught in that God forsaken Gilley's explosion because of Urban Cowboy---but I digress, although think of how awful it could've been to have me be one of those KISS country type of guys. YIKES! Anyway, my parents made the decision to have my mom and I stay in the St Louis area, where the schools were...oh, about 400% better than in Houston. So while I finished my senior year, my parents lived apart and got to see one another about once per month. It was a pretty huge sacrifice, just an example of the type of things that my parents did for their children. So during that senior year, I made a decision of my own. Rather than end up in a year of drunken friviolity and stupid behavior, I gave my mom a break and avoided all that.
I waited until the next year to start doing all those stupid things. When mom & dad had been reunited and could attack my stupidity as a united front.
That's just one example of the sort of things that my mom did for me...and for my brother and sister. She's the best! I love ya Ma! Happy Mom's Day!
Love,
The Apple of Your Eye
