Reader Stories: Tributes to Nurturing Mothers

From Lizzy

About Nurturing Mother 

Well, I must start off saying that I had always been a little bit of a mama's baby as well as a Daddy's little girl when I was younger. And I did indeed go through a tough adolescence where I wanted nothing to do with either of them, or at least felt like there was no way in the world they understood me or my intense feelings at the time. Though there were some tough years to go through, I felt like when I found my way through, my mom and my dad both became my helpers in a way. I see them as extraordinary people now, that I have had such a dramatic change in perspective. they are special people who I learn from, still.

My Tribute to a Special Mom 

Wow, what can I say to pay tribute to my wonderful, loving mother. She is selfless, and strong. She teaches me so much about life, and how to take the high road, instead of the low road. She is an Aquarian that loves crafts, being creative and inventive. I love her soo much and for all her tenderness and amazing care, I will be forever Grateful!!

Lessons Learned 

  • Although it might be easier allow life to wear you down, you deserve to allow whatever lessons life is teaching you, to empower you!
  • When you do not want to do something, sometimes it is better to do it and learn from the challenge instead.
  • Be loving towards everyone, because life is too short not to.
  • And so much more, of her uniqueness and one of a kind qualities, that can have at times there rough spots, but I can always see the beauty in them.
