Recently a friend of mine asked
me what my dream job would be. My reply was “to be a stay at home Mother just like
my Mommy”.
I can’t think of another job that could be more rewarding than raising
my children. Being there for all of their firsts. Attending their class trips. Having them come
home to a hot lunch. Being their personal taxi driver and driving them to all of their
activities.
No words or gifts will ever be
enough to tell my Mommy thanks for all she has done and is still doing for my
siblings and I.
After my brother was born, she
quit her job to become a stay at home Mom.
She was always on the go driving
us to our piano lessons, swimming lessons, basketball practices, art classes
and gymnastic classes.
She attended all of our school plays and graduations.
She read to us and taught us how
to read.
She helped us with our homework.
She baked for our school bake
sales.
Every Summer she helped us learn
our times tables.
We made plenty of trips to
Ontario Place and the CNE during the Summer months.
Every time she went out, she
always brought us back a treat or two (Mmm Muffins and McDonald’s apple pie
were my favourite!).
My Mommy wanted nothing more
than to see us happy. She always had our best interests at heart. She always
put our needs before her own. She always had our back no matter what. There’s
nothing my Mommy wouldn’t have done for us. We were her world, her everything!
What are some of your fondest
memories of your Mother?
