Mymom

My mom one of six daughters a wild one not easily tricked or oppressed if she hears no she says what who and why she makes noise when expected to be silent the black sheep of the family fire and fury in her veins a rebel ready to protect Her beautiful voice she can sing I know because her song beats in my memory She can cook too memorable french fries her grandchildren boast fluffy mashed potatoes only a few granddaughters can replicate Fried chicken not sure if this recipe was passed down and the homemade tortillas mm mm good a necessity but a treat for us kids so much more but for me my mom gave me the gift of faith My mom unique and my one only true Love.

What an exquisite tribute to a wonderful woman! I am a Mama's boy, and adore my mom, too - this is so perfectly-written - I really enjoyed this this morning! Have a great day, Sally!
