My Mom



I suppose the fear of what may happen to my mother in law has me in retro-mode. Vivid images of my own mother keep flitting across the screen of my mind. While never close, she was and always will be my mother, the woman who brought me into this world.

This young photo of my mom is the one I keep seeing. What was on her mind? What dreams did she have? Did she plan for a brighter future than what awaited her? Did marriage and a child deter her from her dreams? Was she truly happy or did life's problems; maybe even some mental problems cause her much unhappiness?

I know as a child I didn't give her many problems. I wanted too much to please.

Only mom knows what really went on within her heart and mind.
