Isn't she something? This woman is solely responsible for the woman I am today. We lived on a very modest income - hers, and hers alone. My father didn't work. But she fed us, clothed us, AND took us on vacation almost every year on less than $20,000 a year. We didn't have the best or the most, but we had enough. She scrimped and saved and planned for every penny. Oh, and we never received money from the government. I'll say it again....isn't she something?
Not only was she the breadwinner, but she was also the mechanic and the general handy-man. She fixed everything - or, at least, she made it work. She fixed our cars; she fixed our roofs. She gardened. About the only thing she didn't do was cook. (Trust me, you didn't want her to.....) ;) Isn't she something?
Above and beyond the physical, she is - and always has been - my best friend. She is fun and loving, but she's also stern and strong when she must be. There were always consequences to bad decisions, but she was always there to support me through them and their aftermaths. She was my biggest cheerleader, always believing that there was nothing I couldn't do. She was there to pick up the pieces of my broken heart. She cheered and danced at my wedding. Isn't she something?
Someday, when I have a little one, I hope he or she looks at me like I look at my mom......I hope I will inspire the same awe. I want him/her to say, "Isn't she something?"
C'mon, now, isn't she? |
ok very sweet
