Last week, a friend posted a cute quote on Facebook, from an unknown source:
“A mother is a person who, seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.”
This week, I realized my mom is even cooler than that. My mom is the kind who, after noticing her daughter is too busy vomiting to clean up her own children’s vomit, cleans it up for her.
She brings her sick daughter Sprite and a puke bucket. She takes care of sick grandchildren and washes all the linen on three beds. She makes toast, fluffs pillows, finds thermometers... and then washes more linen.
And as a thanks for this motherly heroism, she gets sick herself.
I love you mom. You are the best... and next time there’s pie, you can have the fourth slice. :)
Skye Kinkade blogs about what’s happening around the Mount Shasta community and in the newsroom. A mother of four, she’ll also write about the challenges of being a working mom, fun stuff to do in the area, and other odds and ends that don’t fit into stories she’s working on. Skye will blog about a variety of things that won’t be included in the print edition while talking less formally about many important community issues.
