parents

The boundless love a parent has for their child is matched only by their capacity to embarrass them.

Step On A Crack
How many times in life have we reached out to hold our mothers hand? This was hard to write, and I do not know why. What do you say in a public forum about your mother?

My Favourite Things About Mum
For as long as I can remember, I have been quick to align with my father and find fault with my mum. Maybe it is because she was quite hard on us as we grew. As a teenager and young adult, I sometimes felt she was too old school. Why talk to me about rules, regulations, and customs that aren't exactly in keeping with the times? Somewhere along the way, I learned to look at things more holistically and with less bias. My favorite things about mum are:

Cheers to Love!
As I sit here typing my heart out on what was once a white plain sheet of paper, I cannot help to think back to April 20, 2021. This day I Cheered to my mother’s gracefulness but wept at the fact that I lost my mentor, my shield, my best friend, and my love.

Never Underestimate An Old Lady Who Rides a Motorcycle!
"We laid the motorcycle down!" I recall the horror I felt as I heard these words over the phone in Hawaii, thousands of miles away from my 70-year old Mom in Florida. After my initial shock, I hurriedly asked her if she was okay. "Yes, we were going down the street and something popped off the motorcycle. We circled around the block to see what it was, and we were going so slow that we fell over!" I did not know whether to laugh or cry!

Passing The Torch
Every family needs the tie that binds. That event or hobby which brings generations together. For my family, it had always been fishing.

It's About Our Children
When you bring a child or children into this world it’s the most beautiful thing and precious moments in life. As they get older not most parents stay with each other and that’s okay but what isn’t okay is that most parents out there go at it with each other. This isn’t okay because then the child/children get traumatized and which is the parent's fault because they are being selfish. They think about their feeling but not the child/children. Then you got one parent trying to provoke the other parent. What does the child/Children learn from this? See when you go to court the judges say what’s best for the child/children. When you do child support it’s the same thing. What most parents don’t understand is that you don’t need to be friends when it comes to co-parenting. You need to be on the same page when it comes to communication. You can hate each other and still co-parent. I know some people that just co-parent by communicating and they do it through an app. I don’t think most parents will understand because they sit there and judge each other or one is judging the other one and the other one is trying to remain calm. There isn’t going to be a reasonable situation because all the parents are doing is teaching the child/children to judge people, to not communicate better, and to think everything is supposed to be perfect.

Mum's Closing Remark
"Come closer, Nneka. I have things I must say to you," my mother said as she laboured to breathe in the ICU of the state general hospital. I was already sitting on the bed but I leaned in closer so I could hear her whisper of words.

She Taught Me Through Her Mistakes
The hardest lessons in my life came from my mother. I wish I could say that she held my hand and guided my way into adulthood, that she was my support during tough times. Unfortunately that was not the case at all.

Mom
My mother worked out of the home from the moment I was three weeks old. She managed the local ice cream shop, but somehow always had time for us three girls. Our house was near spotless, and yet everyone was greeted with the classic line of , “Don’t mind the mess!” Daddy worked for the computer company several towns over, and arrived home each night to a home cooked meal. We were spoiled with mother’s love. Daddy was a busy man and often found little time for us kids unless we had a family vacation, but mom well but made up the difference, with baked goods and special one on one time. My mom was especially involved in our school lives baking cakes, cookies, cupcakes etc. for class events. She rarely missed a recital, school play, or concert. Her dedication to us was undeniable.

Mom Boss, Mom Bitch
My mother was crazy. Seriously, bat wing certifiable nuts. We didn't find out though until she was almost 80 years old. At that point she couldn't take care of herself anymore. Or, more accurately she couldn't find anyone or bully anyone to take care of her. The doctor had to provide exam results to the nursing home so Mom could be admitted.

A Mother Of No Other
The love of a mother is the greatest gift anyone can receive in their lives, from their child hoods to their dying days.
