Your mother is truly blessed that she has such a wonderful daughter. It is SOOOOO true, everything you said, that we just don't appreciate our mother's during some pretty important, formative years [those awful teens!], and it's later that we realize how much we have to be thankful for - having our mothers - and how much we should appreciate them. I try now, often, to let my mother know how much I appreciate everything she's done for me - the many sacrifices, the hurts I've caused her that I'm so sorry for now, the unconditional love she's shown for 46 years, all of that. I too said some of the very same things you did - I'm not going to be like you when I grow up - I'm going to raise my kids differently - blah, blah, blah. If ONLY I'd have followed the examples of my mother, things would have been much, much different for my son [too long of a story - way off track - another time]. Our mother's do really "shape" our lives, whether we realize it when it's happening or not, but I realize that if it wasn't for the mother - and the mothering - I had, I wouldn't be the person I am today. I think my Mom did a pretty good job. And, Sister, it's obvious that yours did, too! What so many of us have, now, to be thankful for, is the fact that our mother's are still here for us to have to thank! Oh my gosh, that was beautiful! Your mother is truly blessed that she has such a wonderful daughter. It is SOOOOO true, everything you said, that we just don’t appreciate our mother’s during some pretty important, formative years [those awful teens!], and it’s later that we realize how much we have to be thankful for – having our mothers – and how much we should appreciate them.

This year, my mother turns 80. To think of all the crap I put her through when I was a punk kid, it's a wonder the worry didn't kill her then. Well, the years have caught up to her physically, but she's still sharp as a tack mentally. Where'd we be without ma? Very nice post. This year, my mother turns 80.
