The topic of moms has come up and we have had similar upbringings -- yet with the 'good' (I use that term loosely) parent being switched.<BR/>As you have done, I, too, am able to recognize how strong my dad was. To this day I question his still undying dedication to her.<BR/>But then I realize that THAT is not what it is all about, is it?<BR/>Bitterness and grief should be left on the floor, and far into the past.<BR/>Heartfelt warmth and strength and love should be the focus -- and passed on, no matter what you can dig up, dig it up, hang onto it, and pass it on.<BR/>Like you said to me, these are the legacies we should remember...that we should hold onto.PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262961659074803240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15042610.post-1152821099347927582006-07-13T15:04:00.000-05:002006-07-13T15:04:00.000-05:00Oh wow.

I can't imagine the pride that she must feel when seeing you and your husband and Alice.<BR/><BR/>I am always filled such awe and respect for women who go through such awful times and afterward manage to pick up their lives and go to college while working and raising children. To me they are all such amazing heros, because I can't imagine the strength and determination and especially hope that they just always have around them.<BR/><BR/>And also, thank you so very much for sharing that story. It's something that will stay with me and that I won't forget.Caterpillarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01337099007066020997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15042610.post-1152816255840661072006-07-13T13:44:00.000-05:002006-07-13T13:44:00.000-05:00I know that I do not alwasy give my mom the gratit...I know that I do not alwasy give my mom the gratitude that she deserves. I remember my dad waking me to sit on the couch and watch him beat the daylights out of my mom in his drunken stage. He always took my brother every where and did for him and my mom always tried to make that up to me with what little money she had that my dad gave her. When he told us that he was leaving, I helped him pack his bags. I am not sure what was more of a relief to me, not having to watch my mom suffer those beatings or not having to watch her try to make up for what he did not do for me. After he left, she was left uneducated and without a job. I watched her struggle though college and get a job. I can only imagine what it was like at her age to have to do that after being a stay at home mom all of those years. We have had our bad times and rarely see eye to eye, but I do praise her for all that she has done over the years.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11313250780161359875noreply@blogger.com
