I WON'T SAY MY MOTHER WAS THE BEST, BUT FAIRLY CLOSE!
SHE ALWAYS PREPARED DINNER AT THE SAME TIME EVERYDAY,
DISHES WERE DONE DIRECTLY AFTER, LAUNDRY DAY WAS FRIDAY,
IRONING THE NEXT DAY - - ALL DAY LONG IT SEEMED! WHILE
WATCHING HER FAVORITE PROGRAMS, AND SINGING OUT LOUD!
SHE SEWED OUR CLOTHES, KEPT THE HOUSE CLEAN, HAD A STRANGE
SENSE OF HUMOR - BUT HUMOR AT LEAST! BEDS MADE AS SOON
AS YOU WOKE UP. SHE MADE 14 LOAVES OF HOMEMADE BREAD
AT A TIME, AND FROZE 13 FOR THE FUTURE. I WOULD COME HOME
FROM SCHOOL TO HEAR HER SINGING "OPERA" AND PAINTING THE
INTIRE ROOM WITH A 2 INCH BRUSH, ( no roller for her!) OR BUILDING
ANY MANNER OF ITEMS THAT SHE COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT AT
THE TIME! SHE WAS A BUZZ SAW AT WORK! SHE GAVE ME A SUNBEAM
MIXER WHEN I MARRIED...IT WAS STUCK ON FAST, & I HAD TO HAVE IT
REPAIRED SO I COULD "BLEND" THINGS. I BOUGHT A CAR FROM HER THAT
WAS ALSO "STUCK ON FAST," IT JOLTED AT THE GREEN LIGHTS! YOU
COULD NOT JUST PULL AWAY FROM THE LIGHT NICE AND SLOW! I HAD
TO GET THAT FIXED TOO! SHE DID EVERYTHING SO QUICKLY, MY DAD
WOULD SAY TO HER, " HELL, YOU GO INTO THINGS LIKE YOUR KILLING
RATTLE SNAKES, LAVINA!" ( HE WAS MORE LAID BACK THAN HER.)
SHE WAS ALWAYS THERE TO LEND A HAND, OR AN EAR, OR A FEW BUCKS,
DADDY TOO! THEY WERE THE ROCKS I LAID MY FOUNDATIONS ON! I MISS
THEM SOOOO BAD SOMETIMES, AND THEN I WISH I COULD GO OVER TO
THEIR HOUSE AND LAUGH AND JOKE WITH THEM AGAIN LIKE I USE TO DO,
OR GO TO LUNCH WITH THEM JUST ONCE AGAIN! YES, SHE WAS THE BEST!!!
CHARISH THE MOMENTS YOU HAVE WITH YOUR PARENTS!
THANK YOU HEAVENLY FATHER FOR THE PARENTS YOU GAVE TO ME......
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MAMA, I STILL LOVE YOU! >>>CRYSTAL<<<
