MY MOTHER
I've been missing my mother lately, she was quite a woman. She basically raised three children while working fulltime at a commercial laundry. I remember the things I liked about her that she taught me, like being honest and obedient and I'm so greatful for that. She also taught me how to make a bed properly and I still do it to this day. I loved her flour tortillas she made and I have never found any that were as good s hers. I remember how to make them but haven't done it. Her Mexican food was exellent!! and anyone who ate it would totally agree. She made the best tamales and no one has ever topped it. How i wish I could eat her cooking again. That was the one thing I wish I had learned to do is learn to cook like her. I can't wait to see her again and talk to her again.
Mom, funny thing, I have been thinking about her too lately :) I am not sure why, but just how she in my life was one of my heros! She never really taught me anything specific, but was someone who truley loved me and I felt so important and accepted by her my entire life. She told me once that the reason she loved me so much was because I loved her husband so much when I was little. I know she treated me differently than the rest of the other kids, and I always felt special. Gosh I miss her a lot some days, and I am so grateful for her influence in my young life. Aren't we lucky to know that we GET to see her again? When I do, I know exactly what I am going to say to her :)
