An Homage to Our Mother

If you look in Wikipedia, the definition of a mother is A mother, mom, mum, momma, or mama is a woman who has raised a child, given birth to a child, and/or supplied the ovum that grew into a child.[1][2][3][4] Because of the complexity and differences of a mother's social, cultural, and religious definitions and roles, it is challenging to specify a universally acceptable definition for the term.

 But, it takes so much more to be a mother. Let us tell you about our mother. Some may know her by Janeale, some call her friend, others call her Darryl's wife, but to us, she is mom.
Growing up, there was no other mother that possessed the talents that she had. She taught us to cook, to sew (well some of us) to be a good friend, a good listener. She wiped our tears away when we cried, (she still does). Mom was always there for us, no matter what! We made mistakes and she forgave. We got in trouble and she helped us out of it. We needed a friend, and she was there. Patience came easy for our mother (especially after raising Julie) ha, ha... As an adult, we will never even come close to being the mother that our mother is to us.. Who makes homemade bread and cookies everyday after school? Our mom has a heart as big as the universe, so mom, this is for you... We love you so much!!!
