She was an artist and a fine craftsman, and I learned at lot from her. The one thing I didn't get was someone to consult with as I grew older and had kids of my own. It made me more independent than most women my age, but I lost out on the wisdom she might have shared. My father was a great resource for many of the practical aspects of life, but sometimes, you need your mom.:)Cheryl Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11464377381132807409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-62245112208601122012011-06-16T08:21:52.766-04:002011-06-16T08:21:52.766-04:00What a lovely post, Grace!

My mom didn't want me when I was born--what a way to ruin a perfectly good 2nd year of marriage! She only liked me when I could start talking to her like a human being. LOL And I loved her for it. She was the greatest friend I could have ever had. :)Terry Spearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788961423817944896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-50438894090076518862011-06-16T03:08:16.355-04:002011-06-16T03:08:16.355-04:00Great post!

It has been good for her to have a reason to be my champion (again, some more), and a very pleasant surprise to me, given the material I write and generational differences between us.<br /><br />Shana--like that old saying about how smart your parents become when you have kids... <br /><br />Carolyn--WHOSE "LOVE DRUNK COWBOY" MADE THE NYT E-LIST THIS WEEK!!!--Sorry your mom is gone, but the gift of her support is forever, like being able to say you're a New York Times bestselling author.Grace Burroweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01631291702461834307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-32425004284301464312011-06-15T16:56:47.901-04:002011-06-15T16:56:47.901-04:00Wonderful post, Grace!

Hee hee.<br /><br />There is something about the transition from daughter to friend that can happen between daughters and mothers. Part of it is letting go of the adolescent need for Moms to 'get' us.<br /><br />My Mom and I really never got along until we faced losing each other when our family was ripping apart. I was well into my late 20s when, like a smack upside the head, I realized she was a pretty cool lady who had done her very best by me, whether she 'got' me or not.<br /><br />I consider myself extremely fortunte that I figured this out before she passed away.

I often think that we get so centered on what's going on in our lives that we forget to look at the sacrifices our parents have made to give us life - I know I get caught up on the imperfections in our relationship but I need to remember to look at the overall picture and remember that love is at the base of it all. Thanks for the reminder.Maria D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05747214324745625853noreply@blogger.com
