Mom's week ...*m

Let's hear it for Mom!
IF you're a mom, who are you a mama to? And while we're on the subject, tell us about your mom!
****
I'll start. I'm a mom to 19-year-old TJ (College freshman), 15-year-old Nick (High school freshman), and 16-month-old Kovu, my shephard-collie puppy!
My Mom is 67-year-old Mable. Afrer raising five willful daughters, she's now a grandma of 6. She's in her second year of Alzheimer's. I call her my "little brown woman". It's our turn to take care of her now.

My mom was a very strong-willed woman. She grew up in a very dysfunctional family. Her dad was an alcoholic and mom was schizophrenic. She had 5 brothers and sisters which she basically raised when they weren't carted off to orphanages. She grew up very poor.
She made our lives as comfortable as possible while still instilling us with responsibility and good morals. Her honesty about her childhood helped us grow up to be responsible and compassionate adults.
I hope I am instilling at least an ounce of what my mother instilled in us to my children!
Love and Blessings to all the other mothers out there!

Great idea Cee! :-)
I'm Mommy to two boys (9 & 6) and one girl (4). And I consider myself having two Moms: my Mother (to whom I very grateful for raising me with an open mind and taught me to not just accept the status quo) and my Mother-in-Law (to whom I'm grateful for introducing me to the Sacred Feminine and a whole new world within).
What a nice way to give tribute!
What a neat post.
Barbara, how is your Mom doing with your Dad?
Mom is hurting but has a good attitude.
