Today I am Thankful for my Mother, we have had many years of difficult times. Times of not understanding one another or why there was so much hurt in our relationship. For years I have been trying to write her a letter to know how I felt growing up and explain why I feel the way I do so many years later. Well I finally wrote that letter, which became a short story. I invited my mother down to stay with me and she read the letter. It was an eye opening experience that i wouldn't trade for anything. I gained insight and knowledge about her childhood and what life has been like for her. I learned that the things she went through in life made her who she is and yes she made mistakes but that she has ALWAYS loved me no matter what has happened between us. She also finally had a glimpse into my crazy life and knows how busy I am and what kinds of things go on in my house. She already has a relationship with my older two but this time she got to know the younger 2 children better and establish a relationship with them which is wonderful, because now they want to be a part of their Grandma's life too! We laughed alot, we cried and we spent some much needed time just the two of us. I am Thankful for my Mother and I love and appreciate her.
