A TRIBUTE TO MY MOTHER

My mother died about ten years ago. In my eyes she was an amazing woman. She was a very courageous and strong woman. She was born in Europe and came to Canada when she was a teenager.
She taught me to be a very determined woman and to never give up. She could do anything. She loved children and spent countless hours caring for her grandchildren. They could do no wrong in her eyes.
My mother did a lot of volunteer work and through it helped many people have a better quality of life.
My mother had a mind of her own and always let you know what she thought. Sometimes you were told more than you ever wanted to know.
My mother worked hard and expected everyone else to work hard too. It was no problem for her to make a meal for 10-20-30 people. Everyone was welcome at her home.
My mother loved to play cards. She had several woman groups to play bridge, canasta and gin rummy.
My mother was very strong physically despite her bad back.
My mother had great patience for her grandchildren but she had no patience for laziness especially when it cam to cleanliness.
I want to take this opportunity to thank my mother for all she did for me, my family and others in the community. MOST OF ALL SHE TAUGHT ME THAT I COULD DO ANYTHING AND TO NEVER GIVE UP.
THANK YOU MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m glad you had such a supportive mother. My mother was not a very happy woman and she died when I was 32. I felt guilty for a long while that I could not make her happy, but I have learned that the only one I can change is myself. My kids will have their own issues, but they won’t feel guilty about my being unhappy. I work pretty hard at being happy. When I feel I am being sefish I remember how I felt when she died and I knew I had not been able to make her happy. I couldn’t make up for all the decisions she made–I don’t even know what they were.
