hairdiva, my heart goes out to you about your mother. We all seem to get the rug yanked out from under us when it comes to close family. I was glad to celebrate your happiness with a new marriage, as I am sure she was for you. I was glad to see that you wrote of her as the matriarch and a woman of strength in your family. I will imagine that you have inherited that same strength from her so that you will manage and carry on sharing the beauty of your mother with others as you have here. Be at peace relishing her strengths and character and know that all of us at blender care deeply over your pain at her condition. A few words of advice from one who's been very critically ill a number of times over the years: Give her your smiles, love and hugs and feel these flow back to you. And, hugs to you from me, my blender friend ...... Rennie

beautifulstranger, about october reflection:
I absolutely love this. Simply astounding work...and it made me reflect on a few things. Thanks for sharing it!
Rennie, how could you know that I am pulling myself together by the sheer knowledge that I am cut from the same diamond of strength from which my mother came? Thank you for your words. My entire family sat in that waiting room and said over and over again how joyous my mother was planning my wedding, and making it such a beautiful day for me. She did everything. My grandmother told me that my uncle thanked her for insisting that he take the time from work to attend the wedding, just because we all got to see her absolutely glowing joyously. That, in itself, will carry me through this. Along with all your thoughts and hugs. Thank you, my friend Rennie, for knowing. It means more than you can imagine.
rennielorca, about if we could forget....:Love it.
How lucky you are to have a mother that
loved you that much, it hurts me to know
that we are all not that lucky, I only hope and feel that I already come up short
to being the true mother that my daughter needs, hairdiva, you have been truly blessed. With all of the relationship problems I have been having I feel like my
baby has got the short end of the stick and it makes me cry just to write this because I truly love her with all of my heart and soul, I just hope someday she forgives me for lacking in certain aspects, for working all of the time, and for not being the person she deserves, to my Natalie Rose, I truly am sorry and mommy loves you more than every breathe that she takes, and please never forget that as long as you live...
To all the mothers out there some questions,
how does one forgive oneself for not living up to their expectations as parents
I mean I have always fed her, bathed her,
helped her with her homework, all of the physical details but I feel that on an emotional level I have not been the person I should, tell me, does it ever get any easier, does the guilt ever cease, and how do we know when we are doing the right things by our children?
sorry for the typos I make alot of them,
I meant that I already feel I come up short... lol
Baby Rose, about I Fall:
Baby Rose, as I read this, it reminded me of the fact that we are often our own best and worst enemies. And I want to tell you...you're human. As such, no one expects you to be perfect. We all fall. We all do things we wish we didn't, or know we shouldn't. That doesn't make us any less. And those who love, forgive.
Thanks for sharing the piece, my dear. Many hugs...
