Being A Good Mother

What’s a promise you made to yourself that you’ve actually kept?

My mother was not there for me. My grandmother was more like a mom to me. I watched T.V. with her, and I ate with her and I cried with her.  She is missed. My mom didn’t walk to school. I walked on my own. Plus I took a bus when school was further away. My parents cared more for my brother and sister. Everything I did wasn’t good enough.

When I met my husband. My life changed. I promised myself that I wouldn’t be like my parents. I loved my children equally. I listened to them. I was the referee. I was fair. I took my children to school, when they went to school they took a bus, but I was there to meet them. My kids are adults now and I love them equally. They are my life.  My kids still live with me, and I love it. My kids are my life now. Now I am mom and dad. I am cool with that. I promised myself I will never be my parents. I am proud of that.

Thank you for dropping by and have a good day or night wherever you are in the world 🌍
