Dear Mamas, You Are Appreciated!!

 

   Mom is probably the first word we all spoke as a toddler lol. If it was not, then I am sure it was in the first three lol.  I do not know about you, but mama has been a name I always called when I was growing up. Actually, I still call my lady to this day 🤷.  Whether it is for good or bad news.  Now if you read my previous posts, you would know that I had a wonderful stable of women (mothers) that raised me; they all deserve their flowers today! A mom’s job is never complete, and they never get to have a sick day, even when they really need it.  My mom better known as “Big Red” was already a pro at being a mom by the time I came along lol. At least that is what she thought 🤣lol.  I would like to think that I brought her some unusual challenges the first four did not lol. Besides, I could not get away with too much because my sis aka “Mom #2” did not play any games lol. You can get away with that when you are 14 years apart in age lol.  Young Trellie did not know any better. Growing up I loved being around my moms, they were my friends and biggest supporters.  I can recall a few times now that they were putting in countless hours to ensure I was able to take part in activities.  I did not realize how busy I was growing up with all my extra activities lol.  Let us fast forward to adulthood and I still feel the same way about these ladies.  I do not think there is anything they can ask, and I would not attempt to do.  After all, they are part of the reasons I am where I am today.  Moms should always be cherished! They endear a lot for their babies (side note: Red still call all of us her babies and I am the youngest at 33 lol).  The older I get, the more I realize that a mom is not just for the woman who birthed us.  Over the years, I have had a few ladies who did not birth me; however, they definitely helped in my upbringing. So, to all the moms, grandmothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, friends, etc. to all you wonderful women: YOU ARE APPRECIATED!!  Take sometime today and call or hug a mother figure.  Especially, during these crazy Covid times, anything can change!   

P.S.  I still hate it here in adulthood 🙄lol, but I love 🥰 my mamas!!!
