This one's a little emotional so bare with me
It was just weighing on my mind earlier...
I woke up to my mom mowing the Lawn.Something my mom is having to get used to since she and my dad split.I got out of bed and there she was in the kitchen getting a glass of water,sweaty and breathing hard.I felt so bad for her.In the back of my mind i'm thinking this is something my mother should NEVER have to do!!For all the things she's done for me and my sisters and my family as a whole its so amazing that at 50 my mom is just starting to realize who she really is!She sat me down while she was taking a little break from the sun and she told me some things that i dont think i'll ever forget!She explained to me how excited she is that she's finally living her life.My mom turns 50 in March and she's JUST now getting a car in her own name! We talked about how when she and my sister were living in an apartment in San Diego when my dad and her first seperated that she walked to the grocery store and back all the while holding my older sisters hand.Working a steady job with long hours,taking the bus to work and everywhere else she had to go.And how when my mom and dad moved out of their parents house they had nothing but a bean bag and a microwave,the lived in a trailer together and when it was Christmas my mom and dad put their money together and bought a heater as a present to the both of them.My mother is SUCH an extraordinary woman!Everything she's been through,the things she tries to instill in us,the example of the woman she wants us to become.I almost wanted to cry as she smiled about how happy she was that she could care for us and provide for me and my sisters.How she didnt care if she had to sacrifice clothes and things so that we could have the things we needed.And my family has never been poor.But were middle class i guess u could say.but there's been times when i was younger that i knew that my family was struggling.And every year no matter what she had to do my mother made sure that no matter the financial bind we were in that we had a christmas,clothes and shoes for the first day of school,nice things every now and then,family dinners out.I dunno it just made think about some things.and i typed this earlier during the week and had more to say but i got sleepy and went to bed.lol. maybe there will be more later.
