My beautiful mother
An old highschool friend contacted me on Facebook and said about my mother:
I have always remembered how beautiful she was..she has always been in my heart…she was really good to me.

I find it interesting to see others’ opinions of people we know, or think we know, so well, a long time later. You never know what kind of impact you make, or how you influence others without ever knowing. Women of previous generations and particularly my own–who were born to know their place or on the cusp of the women’s liberation movement so to speak–didn’t always feel appreciated or noticed, even though many of them sacrificed much of their personal lives for others. I hope your mother does.

I called her to tell her about my friend’s comment and she loved hearing it. When I was growing up most people thought I had the cool mom, and of course compared to their mothers, I guess I did, but I was never looking for a friend, which is the relationship my mother wanted with me and my friends. Again, she did the best she could for her and that is what I try to remember now.
