My mother is my hero.
She is my hero because she is funny.
She is my hero because she likes desserts.
As soon as we sat down at Burger Heaven, she eyed up the desserts. Soon, the boys were picking out their desserts before they'd even ordered lunch.
She is my hero because she orders desserts.
She is my hero because she plays while the other grandmothers hold the coats and watch.
My mother played just about every game that my kids played at the Sony Wonder Technology Lab yesterday afternoon.
She is my hero because she’s not afraid to win.
We played a hip-hop song in the music section. When we whipped through the museum in an hour, she suggested we go to Grant's Tomb. So we did.
She is my hero because she has great ideas.
She is my hero because she doesn’t give up.
We had to walk a ways from the car to Grant's Tomb, so I thought my mother, who has Parkinson's disease, might need help climbing the stairs. I put out my hand for her, but she was already skipping up the steps like a school girl on a class trip.
She is my hero because she knows history.
She is my hero because she has patience.
She didn't tell me not to buy it for him, nor did she complain when he practiced it on the George Washington Bridge and beyond.
She is my hero because she’s my mom.
Share, share, that’s fair. Tell us what you love(d) about your mom.
Note: I was paid by no one for any mentions in this post, nor did I receive any swag. This was just a fun trip into the city during my kids’ spring break. But with all the hoopla over FTC guidelines, I felt I should make that clear. (Want a bugle?)
Pssst! Hey, you! We’d love to hear from you. Anything. A little hello. A “that was funny.” A “I’ve been a long-time fan” or “I’m new here.” Let’s get the conversation started. Some of you provided such great quotes for my books, that I’d love for everyone to hear from you here, too. You are such clever fans, all of you. Thanks!
This is great!! I love it. It reminds me of my ultimate goal in life – to one day (way, way, into the future, of course) to be the best, most fun, awesome grandma ever. Looks like your mom may hold that title right now!!
Lisa. I’m glad I chose the magic words to get you to stop by!
Lana, I’m glad your mom has mellowed and is great for your kids.
Kathie, it seems like we have the same kind of mom. Fun!
Doesn’t remind me of my mom at all, but I’m so glad to have read it and seen these fun pics. It was the “horse’s butts” in your description over on Facebook that got me to click over. I’m in it for the base humor, I guess.
My mom never spoiled us and she was very strict and expected us to proper and respectful at all times. To this day, I stand up straight when I see her. When it comes to her grandkids, however, she is a completely different person. She spoiled them, plays with them, and lets them have ice cream any time of the day even if they awake in the middle of the night and ask for it. What I love the most about her is the type of grandmother she is; that is the type of grandmother I wished I had. My one grandmother lived far away and the other died when I was 5.
Reminds me soooo much of my mom. We recently had a local tourist day and drove all over town. My mom, too, is hilarious and we all hadn’t laughed like that in a long time. Moms are great. Thank you for sharing.
