My mum

What defines the perfect mum?
The perfect mum wears many hats; shes a friend, a guidance councillor, a teacher,  a boss, a homemaker and a peacemaker. She is capable of mending your clothes and your heart. She teaches you to away from danger but helps mend the cracks when danger finds you. She cries with you and  not for you. She fights your battles alongside you, not in the lead. She  inspires you to be the best you can be and she builds self confidence and self assurance.
The perfect mum belongs to me.
A woman who has made me who I am today and did so only by herself. A solo mum of two, who ensured we had everything we needed  and more, even when the bank account was dry. A lady who taught us about appreciation and accomplishment.  A friend who is proud of the smallest of my achievements, an achievement was just that regardless of size.
She is the strongest woman I know, the most dependable, reliable and nurturing. She inspires me to walk in her likeness in a hope that my daughter will have a mum like mine. If I can be half the woman she is, my wee angel will be blessed.
I adore her, I respect her and most of all I treasure her. She is my superhero, she is who I want to be when I grow up.

One thought on “My mum

  1. Wow what a beautiful way of putting words Meme. But do you know what? I wouldn’t be a mum without you and your sister. You both have blessed me with all the things that you have given me, the precious gift of Eden is the most powerful of all gifts. Your words sure did bring a tear to my eye and gave me the lump in the throat – just as I did when I was so proud of you achieving all that you did (and do). Being a mum is an amazing chapter in the book of life – I love being a mum to you and Hales and I am honoured to say that the bond us three share is unique. Arohanui my Meme. Lub ewe.x.
