My mother passed three years ago today. She's
obviously been on my mind these past few days.
She was truly a phenomenal woman . . . on the
maternal front, she rocked the world of my brother
Sammy. She was very active in the PTAs of the
special schools he attended. She orchestrated
audio books for him to read each day. She made
attending Colorado School for the Deaf and blind
possible and took us to visit him once a month.
She even worked an evening job to help with the
expenses this involved. Esther, and I probably
should say, Queen Esther, was an executive
secretary so revered that five of her old bosses
actually few in for her retirement party. But, I
think what I wish to remember her for today is
that mom made the effort to accept me, and/or
deal with me, even though she didn't understand
me. I can't even imagine what it must have been
like for her to have both her husband and her
daughter as the eccentrics they turned out to be.
Me thinks I should be sending her posthumous
accolades heavenward today.
esther queen of queens
honoring strengths and sorrows
ever so grateful
