I remember my childhood as safe and with love. My mother was a worker in the home, and with nine children she had her hands full. There was always a good dinner on the table every day and packed lunches to school, she made all her children. She was a good cook, I must say. With everything she had to do in the house, washing clothes, washing floors, dusting, repairing and sewing clothes, food shopping, cooking, and much more. However, she had time for us kids and she was very patient. A heart of gold she had. She was the best mom I could have and I loved her and love her with all my heart. I will always miss her deeply, and with tears in my eyes.
