Weather Diary: Sunny and Dry....we need rain....
49 years ago on Thursday May 24th, 1962 Linda Susanne Moore Jones was born. She also goes by, The Mommy, Mom, Mama, Lindalee, Suzie, Bones, Sister, Daughter, Wife and now by Nana. She is hard working, Mother of 5.
She was born in Germany, and moved to the states when she was really young. She grew up on a large family, and dropped out of high school to help put food on the table. Later on in life she got her GED, went to college, worked full time, and had 5 children.
She has four daughters, and one son. We haven't always taken it easy on her, and for that I feel immense guilt. But she raised us to follow our hearts, stand up for ourselves, and always be compassionate toward others. Since I have grown up, she has always listened to my problems, but maintained a safe distance and respected my privacy and choices.
She seems to always know when I need a sign of encouragement, a little extra attention, when I need a kind word, a good ear, or even space. I like how open she is to people and my friends. I like how she is my biggest fan, I like how she admires me, even though it should be the other way around...
The Mommy and I haven't always agreed, but that is healthy, we haven't always liked each other, but that is normal, but we have ALWAYS had respect, love and understanding.....
A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. ~Washington Irving
Mommy-
You have reminded me to be humble and compassionate, you have always encouraged me to follow my heart, stand up for myself and for others, you have taught me to be faithful to people, to love and cherish the moments in my life, and most of all you have helped me through my marriage to the most wonderful man in the world!
I hope you have a very happy 49th birthday, and I REALLY hope you come to NEVER NEVER LAND for your 50th!
OVER & OUT
Just another day in the life of an unlikely military wife.....**
