Our Mothers

You think we know them, but I think it is time we get to know them. Two weeks ago my friend Katie's mom died. Yesterday I went to the funeral and Katie told her mom's story and I thought, do I know my mom's story? I'm not so sure. Let's get to know our moms. Let's talk to them and ask them about their childhood. What were their secrets? How did they do in 5th grade? What kind of shoes did they wear on their first day of school? How did they meet our dads? What did they do on summer vacation? Did they fight with their siblings? Did they like mac and cheese and hate green beans? How did they get through life before we came along? Let's ask.
