I found my own."
Well it was my mother's - mother's day. I have always felt a bond that has been there since I was a child.
I find that she has alway placed herself last and never first. For me, to hear her and talk now and then there is that common sense and bond that comes to be.
As she is facing several things right now I really do feel or wish I was nearby. If there was anyone within my family that I we could relate in so many manners it's definately my mother. Since I was a child she seemed to have the desire to raise all of us in our family an opt at her own desire to be a mother. She never worked but she worked!
I love her, she is the most endearing person and there is a bond that seems to sit there now more so than ever since I have been away.
"Yeah dear Mother - I will come back, I don't know when right now I am taking my own steps and within my heart and soul I hope that everything is going fine for you."
My family went through a tremendous amount. The one person out of the entire family that was able to keep it all together - was my dear mom. John Lennon once wrote a song that was a cry out towards his mother and father whom abondoned him, during his youth. I think the verse went something like "Mother where were you.....".
My mother while I was growing up and during the good times and as well the hard times has alway been there. This morning at 7am, I had called her and we had a good long talk. It was like a coffee talk and that was a gift.
Now if I can get this computer (new one) working right with a few things - I look forward to being able to type in a manner that I used to love. And how I wish she had got on a computer - mother that is as we could connect in ways a great from afar.
yes, this is great..
ReplyDeletei keep in touch with my daughter who is half a world from me through the Internet every day..
Well, she is not young but the telephone works. She is truly someone that is the a foundation of many things. And most of all for what it's worth she believes in me and has since a long time ago. That's founation and so much more. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMy Mother won't have a computer, cell phone or any new things... She enjoys her "real" time... and so I honor that for her... I spoke on the phone to her this evening... She is content and been out with friends... Hope your Mother had a very Happy Mothers Day too.. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks I know that she was going out with friends and my mother is much like yours - she does not go for all the gizmo things.
ReplyDeleteShe is happy with what she has been given. And she can generate the best at the hardest of times.
I fondly recall as a child morning breakfasts with what was called "egg in a glass".
G'day Jack,
ReplyDeleteDistance doesn't weaken the bond between Mother & child, it just tugs at the heart strings every now and again, but a phone call can be as warming as a hug. I'm pleased she had a good Mothers day, she sounds like a real lady.
Wendy, I have always seen mothers as a foundationary to the old family set as far as where we are today - I believe it still exists and it's so true that we have grown fonder.
ReplyDeleteMy mother is gone now for seven years and I miss her as much today if not more. I would talk to my mother first thing in the morning and last thing at night. I moved back and took care her something I was never sorry for which I could have done more but I know there is nothing humanly possible I could have done. I miss having a chance to talk to her be it by phone or in person. A mother truly is the hand that rocks the cradle. When I lost my mother I lost my best friend...
ReplyDeleteMorning coffee here while I am off today as I may be leaving tomorrow for two days and then coming back. I could not agree with you more and find things very similiar.
