A MOTHER'S LOVE GOES DEEP
I loved you enough to insist you buy a
bike with your own money that we could afford and you couldn't.
I loved you enough to be silent and let you discover your handpicked
friend was a creep;
I loved you enough to stand over you for two hours while you cleaned
your bedroom, a job that would have taken me fifteen minutes.
I loved you enough to say, "Yes, you may go to Disney World on
Mother's Day."
I loved you enough to let you see anger, disappointment, mistrust
and tears in my eyes.
I loved you enough not to make excuses for your lack of respect or
you bad manners.
I loved you enough to admit that I was wrong and ask your
forgiveness.
I loved you enough to ignore "what every other mother" did or said.
I loved you enough to let you stumble, fall, hurt and fail.
I loved you enough to let you assume the responsibility for your own
actions, at 6, 10, and 16.
I loved you enough to figure you would lie about the party being
chaperoned but forgave you for it after discovering I was right.
I loved you enough to shove you off my lap, let go of your hand, be
mute to your pleas and insensitive to your demands...so that you had
to stand alone.
I loved you enough to accept you for what you are, not what I wanted
you to be.
But most of all, I loved you enough to say “no” when you hated me
for it.
THAT WAS THE HARDEST PART OF ALL. |

Old proverb
"When you
die, your sister's tears will dry as time goes on, your widow's
tears will cease in another's arms, but your mother will mourn you
until she dies." |
