Mary Lou, what was your Mom like when you were a child?

I always felt I was very lucky to have my Mom be my Mom.  I always knew she loved me and wanted the best for me.  She didn’t work outside the house when I was growing up and it was always nice to come home from school and have her there.  She was my room mother at school several years and always involved with volunteering at school and church and playing cards with her friends.  I thought she was very pretty and I was always very proud when she came to school.  She was always up on the latest fashions.  Every Sunday afternoon she’d and I’d go to the grocery store my Dad owned and do the weekly shopping.  I loved that weekly trip.  My Dad was a diabetic so Mom made three big meals a day, that kept her very busy. We did have our conflicts when I was a young teenager.  I have the type of personality that always questions things and wants to know why.  My older sister always wanted to please and just did what she was told.  So I presented a challenge for my Mom, my sweet Dad had many a talk with me about how I needed to respect Mom and do what she told me.  In the end I knew they were right.  She has been a great role model for me in how to be a good Mom.
