A few ppl asked me to post this as a separate thread so here it is.... MOTHERING OUR MOTHERS I called my mother today. Quiet she was. Her mother long gone. Her mother never present, never sent for her. I could hear her sadness, her passive tone. I held her close, just to remind her she was not alone. Sometimes we need to mother our mothers, for they too, at times, need a woman's touch, a woman's Love, just enough to soften the pain. I cannot be a substitute for the mother she did not have, but I will not leave her destitute; I will give all the Love I can. ~© JDS 05/10/2009~

We sometimes forget that our own mothers might not have had the ideal childhood since they did such a great job raising us. Roles in families can be reversed, particularly as the parent becomes elderly. What a wonderful write Angel.
