My mother raised three sons (one of which I am) Mother was so excited when I got married, now she had a daughter. We were married 32 years, when my wife died this last November in a accident. Mother has taken it hard. This would be a nice surprise for Mothers Day.
MY 32 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAS 2 YOUNG CHILDREN. ROBBIE IS 2 1/2 AND JORDY JUST TURNED 1 YEAR. ROBIN WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO HAVE CHILDREN DUE TO HER DIABETES. NOW SHE HAS TWO. MY DAUGHTER IS MARRIED TO A MAN THAT SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH. HE ON THE OTHER HAND LOVES HIS CRACK/COCAINE MORE THAN HIS FAMILY. HE STEALS FROM MY DAUGHTER AND ON TWO OCCASIONS HE HAS LEFT MY DAUGHTER AND GRANDCHILDREN HOMELESS. ROBIN HAS PULLED OUT ALL THE STOPS. SHE WORKS FULL TIME AND SUPPORTS HER TWO CHILDREN ON HER OWN AND WITH NO ASSISTANCE FROM ANYONE. NOT EVEN THE STATE. SHE EVEN HAS GONE AS FAR TO PUT HER HUSBAND IN THE BEST REHAB FACILITIES BUT IT FAILS ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER HE GETS OUT. ROBIN DOES NOT HAVE A LOT AND SHE DOESNT WANT OR ASK FOR A LOT. SHE JUST WANTS WHAT IS BEST FOR HER KIDS AND THAT IS ENOUGH FOR HER. ROBIN DESERVES THIS.
Mother has always been a guide and helping hand to all her exgtended family. She has always put everyone else first even in helping a grandson with college money, helping family to relocate by assistance in moving. She even provided living quarters to family when they needed a place to live. She provided support whenever needed throughout her life.
I am the youngest of my family, the tenth of ten children (six boys and four girls). My mother not only took care of all of us, but she has also cared for her many grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren. She has been an inspiration to all of us in the way that she loves her family and accepts us all, thorns and all. A few years ago on Mother’s Day, I sent her the following message, which sums up how great my mother is! This is for my wonderful mother Georgia Etta Essick Taylor who read poems to me when I was ill, and by doing so taught me the joy of reading; who taught me to cook, to sew, to plant, and by doing so gave me the skills to be a chef, seamstress, and gardener; who sang to me and by doing so encouraged me to sing and enjoy music; who took care of my son and by doing so gave me the freedom to move forward with my life and seek happiness; who has never judged me or disapproved of me openly but who has always been there for me whenever I’ve needed someone to talk to, someone to dry my tears, someone to tell me to straighten up and quit feeling sorry for myself! My mother deserves to be and is the best mom ever.
