Last Sunday was Mother's Day 2008. I visited my Mom like a good daughter should. I came over early and she had me planting Impatiens with her. Both neighbors from both sides came over to say "Hi!" and everything was cool. No tense moments, no trouble, just a good neighbor chat. Mom is getting real comfortable as me being Deja her daughter. She even calls me Deja now! Well, except when she is talking to my children. Then I am "your father" and "he" etc but all in all, Mom is accepting me very graciously and with love! Yay!!!!
Mom even gave me the top I am wearing in the pic above. I remember when she would give me male clothes to try to butch me up but now she knows that she was fighting a losing battle. Now I get a woman's top!!! I am so happy and so proud that she accepts me now!!! Yay!!!We had a very nice day planting the Impatiens, drinking Manhattans and ordering out dinner from Chili's. Mom likes the baby back ribs! Hee hee!!!
After dinner Mom went into her freeaer and pulled out 2 Klondike ice cream bars, one for her and one for me. Yes, I know that they are 17g of fat and too many calories but as my Mom bit into hers she said with a smile "I try to be good but I like to cheat. And besides, it's Mother's Day!" We both laughed and we happily ate our Klondikes!
It was truly wonderful sharing the day as Mother and Daughter! On the way to her house that day I had to drive by a cemetary. There were lines of cars going in and coming out, no doubt, children visiting their Mom's graves. How sad I thought as I drove by and I started to tear. I felt so bad for those who do not have their Mom around anymore. I am sooo lucky that I still have mine. I count her being alive as one of my biggest blessings! And for her to accept and love me??? I am truly blessed!!!
