Why we love Mom
-
When Dad left, she never said one bad word about him to us. Took me twenty years to understand the discipline that took.
More love for Mom
- She says 'drive safe' like it's a spell that works. Honestly, the evidence is on her side.
- Every birthday she tells me the story of the night I was born, and every year the snowstorm gets a little worse. Never stop, Mom.
- My mom raised four of us alone and somehow each of us grew up certain we were her favorite. We still argue about it at her table every Sunday.
- I watched her go back to school at 45, textbooks on the kitchen table next to my homework. We graduated the same spring.
