Mothers Day Letter: What Were you Like as a Child

by 2 Comments

Happy Mothers Day!

Today is a great time to look back, reflect, and see how far we’ve grown as parents, friends, sisters, wives, and as individuals.

Ask your mom this question…..
What was I like as a small child, am I still like that today as an adult?

 

After asking my mom that very question, here is her response:

“You were the sweetest, most charming child.
Shy, very soft spoken. Everyone loved you!”
“Today, you are a confident and very thoughtful woman. AND, everyone loves you!!!”

Now of course, I love my mom like a true friend. She made my heart smile when she replied with those thoughtful words.
If I asked myself the same question, here is my response about myself:

As a child: I was a shy young lady, somewhat fearful of the world, quiet, not the most athletic child on the block, but overall a happy child trying to find her way through this world. Making and keeping friends in my life was very important.

As an adult/present day: I am not shy at all, not as fearful of the world either. Instead I wake each day with a positive mind and soul ready to take on whatever adventures or challenges the day may bring with it. I’m still not the most athletic adult (actually not at all, it’s like don’t throw a ball at me - I probably won’t catch it) but overall, I’m a happy adult who is trying to find her way through this world. I’m a loving wife, mother, a daughter to a very special lady, a sister, and friend. I consider myself lucky.

Here is the letter I share with you, that I wrote this Mothers Day.

Dear Mom,

Thank you for all your love and support over the years. Thank you for being there for me no matter what I do or say. Thank you for always listening, not giving an opinion or judging me, but instead, just being by my side like a friend. For being such a generous woman in my life, I’m SO thankful to have you as my MOM by my side (or at least a plane ride away)! 

       If you were to ask your mom this same question: What was I like as a small child, am I still like that today as an adult? What do you think she’d say? What would your response be about yourself?  

Then have some fun and write a letter to your mom.

      Thanks Ginnie. Isn’t it fun to look back at old photos? This one circa late 70′s. Now that I’m older I think I look a lot like my mom too. I appreciate hearing that :) I guess sometimes that shyness takes time to grow out, I was the same way :)
