From my Daughter on Mother's Day 2001

Every day I share my mom with all of you and I do it generously and lovingly. Today though she is mine and mine alone. You have all come to know the Misker that she is now and you all share in our memories of farming to shopping and our outings.

There was a time when we never spoke. When we could not find a ground to stand on. With both of us being strong personalities and coming from pasts that needed much resolution it was a road to travel and it took us years to meet on the bridge halfway. Thank goodness we made that trek1.

Now today I want to share a note I wrote sitting here thinking of our journey and being grateful that the journey is over and I found a friend.
 


"Mom"

There were times when we were barely friends, 
times we wouldn't talk
and here we are now 
what a long walk. 

See how far we've come
from the days of my youth
when I was sure I was the only one
who knew the truth.

Now we share secrets
Giggle over things
there are no words to tell you
how much to me it all means. 

Everyday a new memory 
from schickens to pooh 
and shopping trips costing
a dollar forty seven sixty two. 

I am so glad to call you my friend
and on this mother's day 
its only my heart felt memories
to you I send. 

Happy Mom's Day Mom 
From your little Tude. 
I love you!!!!!!
