This is for my Mommy!!!!

Yes, I am a grown woman in her 30's and I call my mom "Mommy". I'm her baby and always will be! So don't ever stop to think that I'll ever forget that.

MY MOM IS AWESOME!!!!! And every single person that meets her can vouch for that.

One of my posts had upset her when I was talking about my pain for years past. If I was hurting, she was the one to heal my pain. Being the most loving woman EVER, she would have only assumed that she could read minds and know everything about her children. Well, here's the thing. I was super sneaky in a way where I knew the burden she already carried and I would be damned if I added more to her shoulders. I was put into her life to ease her struggle and bring light and laughter into her life. I know this! We are given to our parents for a reason, whether they need to protect us or we need to protect them. Even the youngest of shoulders are wise to the angst of the world.

My mother was raised to be as perfect as possible which in a sense, she was being set up for disaster. No one can be perfect....NO ONE!!!! She carried the weight of our whole family and she is the strongest woman I know. I was blessed with being a visionary from a very, very young age, knowing that my parents had faults but I can see them trying their hardest to provide. As kids, all we really ever needed was their love and that's exactly what we got. I saw things and understood my parents long before my peers hit puberty. With great knowledge came great responsibility, and for that I stuck to her side. I was blessed to have my mom all to my self at a time in both our lives where change was great and the opportunity to become greater women was upon us. AND IT WAS A BLAST!!!!!

I, as a teenager, coming into my own and my mom as a new divorcee, having the chance to reinvent herself. She brought her wisdom from the years and I was able to bring a fresh insight and perspective to the world around us. We were a lethal combination of goofy laughter with witty punch. If we were a cocktail we be mimosas! Vitamin C with bubbles!!!! She helped me become a woman and I helped her find the happy, inner child of letting go.

Mom, I know you're going to read this. I love you so much! I only hope I can be half the woman you are to me. You are so kind and wise beyond your generation and have a heart bigger than the universe. I know you are conditioned to always tell me what to do and how to do it and I will always appreciate that because it means you love me. I can't wait to bless you with grand-babies and enjoy the many continuous chapters of our lives.

Humbly, Merry Ms Berry (baby dinky)
