I owe my love for writing and public speaking all to mom. Just about all the good parts of my personality, I believe, came from my mom, too. I also owe the gravel in my gut to her as well. I am sure glad I m on her side. There are some people who always cheer you up.
Mom is like that.
She doesn t have to say anything. She is a good listener and doesn t try to counsel me when I am down unless I ask her to. She just listens and cares and that is usually just what I need. A few times when I have been really down mom has written me a note or taken us out to eat. At about the lowest point I can remember she wrote me a letter I will keep forever.
