Do the funky mummy
 |
| My mom (right) at her graduation with her bestie |
My sister and I are awfully weird, funky and funny. My sister inherited my mom’s musical inclination and chooses instruments at random to learn in her free time. Siri also inherited my mom’s tendency to do strange yet hilarious poses for the camera. I inherited my mom’s black thumb - the only thing I can successfully grow is mold. I also have her snappy temper, quick to anger but easy to forgive and forget.
It’s a scary / comforting feeling about turning into my mom. There’s an inherent and potentially irrational fear that I think all women have about turning into their mothers. But there’s the other part of me that feels relieved that I will always be able to have a little bit of my mom with me, no matter where either of us are.
Love you mom.
Aaaaaaaaw:)

ReplyDeletehow sweet! your mum sounds funny, like all mums are, I think. My mum also has her funny ways that I have loved since being little. you´re very sweet to dedicate a blogpost about her :)
ReplyDeleteSo sweet of you, Rooth! Happy Mother's Day to your mom! :D
ReplyDeleteThis is a great tribute to your mom, as are her two wonderfully funky/funny daughters. I hope you all had a special day together.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a very rational fear of my wife turning into her mom...and she feared me turning into my dad. Some traits are there, but we've managed to avoid becoming mini-me versions of them. :)
You and your mom sound like 2 people I want to spend time with...that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteYour mother sounds like a lot of fun. It's definitely interesting seeing both my parents in myself as I grow older. I like to think it's mostly good. :)
ReplyDeleteAw, what a very sweet letter to your mama!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is really lovely! I find myself saying things and think, "Oh, now *that* was Mary Jane." It's creepy! Sounds like you had a great day. XO

ReplyDeleteTotoro eyes! Too darling. What a lovely tribute to your Mom xx
ReplyDeleteAh, I love it! And that photo -- wouldn't it be fun to go back and visit our moms when they were younger? Maybe a little creepy . . . but fun.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet - relieved that I will always be able to have a little bit of my mom with me, no matter where either of us are. So true! LOL on that you can only successfully grow mold!
