I know we're all supposed to say. "All Moms are Working Moms" but when I remember my Mother, I know that's a lie. She died in 2007 on Mother's Day. I have missed her every day since.
When she was younger she looked just like the actress Susan Hayward. She had auburn hair and hazel eyes that flashed when she was angry. She was the center of attention wherever she went. She loved to sing and dance and she was good at both. More than anything, she loved to laugh. She was a woman who made her own way in the world. She was a feminist before anyone coined the term, a woman ahead of her time. She was my mother.
