My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
Earlier this week, I called my mother in Florida and as usual, we talked for an hour and a half.
My mom and I can talk about anything. And when I say anything, I mean ANYTHING.
That’s one of the things I truly admire about her. No topic is off limits or taboo.
My mother is the type of person who is open to all kinds of people, and all kinds of situations.
She even reads my blog. And quite often gives me great suggestions for post topics.
And I love the fact that I can sometimes curse while I‘m sharing a story with her; using four letter words and it doesn’t bother her.
Words like: shit, bastard, and son of a bitch.
Oh…..but NEVER the F-word.
I mean I DO make reference to it, by using the words FRIGGIN’ and FREAKIN’, but never the actual F-word.
(although, a couple times I almost slipped…..oops!)
She and I can talk about politics, our spiritual beliefs, relationships, childhood memories, you name it.
And the great thing about it, is that we don’t always agree with one another’s view points or opinions, but we respect one another so our conversations never turn into any kind of argument.
We can sense one another’s boundaries.
My mother is also a very loyal person. I trust her completely, and know that I can share anything and that it will remain between she and I only.
My mother is like a best friend.
I look forward to talking with her each week. We usually speak on the phone every Sunday.
It’s just really nice to touch base and check in with one another; sharing what’s going on in our lives and giving each other feedback and support.
So, I would like to use this post to simply say, thank you to my mother.
And know that I cherish our telephone conversations every week.
I love how we’ll sometimes talk about serious stuff, and then others times we just laugh.
I love how you inform me of current events, because I don’t watch TV or read a newspaper. Therefore, if it wasn’t for YOU, I would never know what the HELL is going on in the world.
Yes, I love it ALL.
So, thank you. Not only for being a great mother. But, also a great friend.
Love ya!
P.S. We’ll talk again on Sunday. I have a story to tell you about a SHITTY and sneaky BASTARD, who tried to butt in front of me at Starbucks….the friggin’ SON OF A BITCH!
Have a faaaaaaaabulous weekend everyone!
