Mother’s Day was two weeks ago so naturally I have been thinking about my own mom. She passed in 1995 – 30 years ago. WOW…it’s hard to believe it was that long ago and how much has changed.
I wouldn’t say that our relationship was close. Oh, I felt secure and had no worries growing up. My childhood and growth to adulthood met very few obstacles. The little I did face were from my own doing and weren’t terrible to overcome. So, in looking back things were great except not close as some would describe closeness (like my wife who is very close to her parents and siblings)
What I was thinking about on Mother’s Day is that I would have liked to have adult conversations with her. I think I would’ve enjoyed them. I remember her being outspoken on many things, never afraid to share an opinion but also being funny in her own way. All of us kids have a good and sarcastic sense of humor which couldn’t have just come from our father…
With all that has happened in the last 30 years and as I have developed my own adult opinion on things, it would be interesting to engage in conversations with her…adult to adult…life experiences to life experiences.
Just something I was thinking about…
