For some reason the one that comes to mind first is one time when we were in the kitchen and she was cooking breakfast. She was holding a spatula and wearing slippers, and decided to teach me how to "tap dance". No, my mom wasn't a dancer, but she did know the basic shuffle-step that most can do to PRETEND to tap dance. I remember her singing "Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do" shuffling around the kitchen, spatula in hand. I danced right along with her as best I could. It was such a small thing, but it's a memory that has stayed with me :)<br /><br />2. Did you ever make your mom cry because you were so unruly or disobedient?<br />I was the peacemaker kid, since my older sister seemed like a handful. I even remember comforting my mom when I was young, because my sister made her cry. I think I tried to be the perfect angel. However, in college, she did cry and say she was disappointed when she found out her perfect child had started smoking... that was a rough night.<br /><br />3. Do you remember any of the special things your mom did for you?<br />There were TONS, she was just a super great, loving mom. Whenever it rained, my mom would make hot chocolate and cinnamon toast. When I walked in the door from the schoolbus, I just knew there would be a fire in the fireplace, and hot chocolate and cinnamon toast. It seems like it was EVERY time it rained, but as a mom now, I can't imagine it was. But it sure seemed like it. I always felt so loved and taken care of by my mom. She was a stay at home mom for most of my childhood and always there when I needed her. <br /><br />4. Did she teach you anything really significant?<br />Compassion and kindness. My mom taught me how to be a loving, affectionate, mom and human being. She told me she loved me many times a day, something I now do with my kids and husband. She always showed her love for us, and I try to do the same.Kim Rogersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35068604.post-55925330467398793862011-04-26T21:53:57.159-07:002011-04-26T21:53:57.159-07:00Linked up!Linked up!Eos Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01461158689274826458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35068604.post-6513548700555806552011-04-25T03:30:39.852-07:002011-04-25T03:30:39.852-07:00Linked up!Linked up!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17096162109331423039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35068604.post-22417677728691444952011-04-23T15:09:05.914-07:002011-04-23T15:09:05.914-07:001. When she told me: “I can be your friend, if you...1. When she told me: “I can be your friend, if you let me”. (I know she won’t remember this but I do)<br />Now that I look back it was the silliest thing but she made the very best of the opportunity (smart lady). I was probably 9 or so and I had this stupid crush on a boy, I don’t know how she found out about it but she sat me down and asked me if what she heard was true, I remember being SO embarrassed. She told me that I could trust her and that if I ever needed her to keep a secret I could count on her. But the best part of the conversation for me was the fact that I realized that she was open and “cool” enough to talk about things like that with her. I know it doesn’t seem like much of a childhood memory but for me it’s been the best because to this day I can still go to her and talk about ANYTHING, and I mean ANYTHING. <br />Granted, I can be more “open-minded” than she is and I can freak her out sometimes with my views of life and such, we disagree on a lot of things and if you ever listen to the both of us having a regular conversation you could swear we are arguing, but that’s just how it is with us sometimes and I love that we can agree to disagree. Despite our differences we get along so well and I miss her the days we don’t Skype, she’s the best friend a girl could have asked for. <br />2. If there is one thing my mom does not tolerate is lies, so the truth? She’s a teacher and a very strict one for that matter, and yes, she was very consistent with her discipline, also (as if I haven’t told her enough already) she’s always been very uptight about certain things but in the end that “uptightness” might have been what helped her raise me into the woman I am today, and for that I am very grateful. <br />3. Well let me start by saying that it doesn’t take much to make my mom cry, she’s VERY emotional, she knows it and she doesn’t hide it. That being said, I hate to have to admit this - specially now that I’m a mother – but yes, I have made her cry (more than once). There were so many times I wished I could take back the stupid rebellious things I probably yelled out at her as a teenager, and I’m ashamed to say, even later in life. But the very special thing I haven’t told you about my mom is that no matter how many hurtful things you throw her way, she finds it in her heart to forgive you and not hold a grudge about it. She's really nice that way. <br />4. Oh, SO many things!!! But my most cherished till this day is when she moved in with us to help care for my babies’ first months of life. I know I didn’t exactly make living with me easy at the time (she kept blaming the hormones) but yet she devoted herself whole-heartedly to the boys and did it with such selflessness, to this day I cannot apologize enough for not showing her then how much I really appreciated her sacrifice of leaving my dad, my younger brother, her job and her life basically, to help us when we needed her the most.<br />Loving and nurturing my babies? (and helping me through my horrible recovery, even if she made me drink that horrible potion juice she made to boost my anemia) Nope, can’t think of anything more special than that.<br />5. How to cook (I know my hubby appreciates this), how to do the laundry, how to pick fresh fruit and veggies, how to manage money, to be responsible, to have a sense of independence, high self-esteem, perseverance, to be able to laugh at myself, that it’s ok to make mistakes, to cry if I need to, to be a good hostess, a loving wife, a devoted mother, a loyal friend, a caring daughter, but the most significant one is my faith, how to love Jesus, to serve and be a good Christian, at home, at work, anywhere, did I mention all of this was through example?Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16353255217174839312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35068604.post-59880671158446741582011-04-22T06:52:38.544-07:002011-04-22T06:52:38.544-07:00This was really REALLY fun to do.
