In my Eyes … for my Mom

I know you were not perfect, neither am I. You were hard on me and I even know that I was not your favorite. But in my eyes … you were a fine lady and I wanted to make you proud, to earn that spot in your heart. At times, I know I did.

You did not always understand me. Most of the time we were worlds apart. I was not your little Susie homemaker but your wild and free daughter who never knew when to come in out of the rain. But in my eyes … you made the best shoofly pie in the world! And you made our house a home, a place of laughter … and tears. Tears that I was not afraid to shed.

I miss those times you would call me when the ice skaters performed on television. We would watch together by phone and not hang up until it was over. I miss sharing our yearly ritual of watching “Gone With the Wind” and how we both sighed loudly whenever “Rhett Butler” came on the screen. But in my eyes … you were there with me when I visited Charleston and you will always be whenever I visit our beloved South.

I remember how you collected white doves after your beloved pass away. Dad stole me away from you all the time to go for a walk in the back yard. He was my white dove also. But in my eyes … you still wear the white cameo pin that you loved. You gave it to me only months before you left to go square dancing with Dad, at least that is how I see you both … IN MY EYES.

I love you, Mom. Happy Mother’s Day.
