To all the mothers on my flist. And it's up to *you* to decide if you're a mum. I mean - kitties are people too!
Anyway...being a mum is skeery, and wonderful, and not something i ever really thought i'd do, but... I love it. And I put just about *all* of my success - and some of my anxiety - at being a mother squarely at the foot of the woman in the picture. Yes, that is *my* mother, at her wedding reception in 1960. Isn't she gorgeous? And yes, that's my dad lookin' all...Rat Pack and 'swave', as he would say. Hee.
But.
My mother has always been my inspiration and my best cheerleader and my confidant. When i got pregnant, it was *her* example i knew i'd have to try to live up to, and her example that i - all too infrequently - manage to emulate.
I have nothing but good memories about her as my mother. We don't agree on everything - we've fought, we've argued, we've had our 'moments'. But in the end, she is the most amazing, caring, and wonderful person i know, and i am forever grateful to her.
I love you, mom.
