Other threads on here have made me think of my Mom. Things I miss so dearly and have made me want to put out there some good things about our parents. I know some of you don't have a Mom or Dad that was there for you.. so tell me something great about the person that stood in for them~
Some of my favorite memories were at bedtime. My Mom was in a bad situation with Domestic Abuse, so often she would find shelter with me. And.. as bad as it drove me crazy.. she kept trying to sleep in my bed with me. I always would tell her that I was a grown woman and she had to sleep in her own bed. She could never sleep. I'd roll over in the middle of the night and find her staring at me, having snuck in my bed like I used to sneak in hers. Just waiting for me to wake up. After the first shock of seeing her there.. we'd laugh and lay there telling secrets in the middle of the night.
She's been gone since 2004.. I can not tell you how many times I woke up in the middle of the night and just wished so hard it hurt she could be there to whisper secrets to.
