Sadly,
My mother was too busy trying to send her 4 kids to school to have much time or energy for me. In fact, growing up I witnessed a lot of her anger as a result of my father “leaving” and having to fend for the 4 of us. She’s admirable in her intentions, but boy do I have a lot of undoing to do…
This difficult and sometimes shocking relationship with my mother is showing up in my marriage to a wonderful, beautiful woman. We have a 10 month old girl who is the cutest pea in the world. We love her to death and we love each other very much. I have a horrible habit of sticking with my hard head to protect my heart.

Hoping, Praying, and Waiting for Redemption.

I tend to write about my mom in my posts quite often. Humor is at the core of our relationship. Oh sure, we get upset with each other and we may not even understand one another at times (being very different kind of people) we both love to laugh. She taught me how to laugh and of it’s importance. I like to write about the little things she’s did that now have me in therapy because I’m scared for the rest of my life. I have one I’d like to share with you. I’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of it with her. And the funniest part is that after the post, she made restitution with a new shirt! Thanks for asking me to contribute on this topic and for allowing me to reflect on my mom. Here’s the post: http://thebwildecolumn.blogspot.com/2008/09/little-boys-treasuregone.html
