Remembering Mom on the occasion of Mother's Day....She was a wonderful lady totally dedicated to her family...
****************************************************************************
It is one of those regular busy mornings, she has her laundry list ready for the day. She begins with the routine tasks of putting breakfast on the table, packing our lunch boxes with a special treat in each one depending on our likes. Then sets about the tiresome chore of getting us out of bed and ready for school. She supervises the teeth brushing of the younger two and marches the four of us to the table to finish breakfast.
She is immune to our grumbling... "Porridge again, I want toast and butter.." We realise, Mom is in no mood to tolerate nonsense and so we finish what has been set before us without much ado. Soon we are dressed and waiting for the school bus. As usual she kisses each one goodbye and wishes us a good day before going back to serve Dad's breakfast and to her never-ending household chores...
