If you are anything like me you did not grow up with the best of circumstances or with every little thing you wanted. But if you had the mother I had you got everything you needed. From encouragement, love, kick in the pants...your mom has been there for you. She has believed in you even when there was no future in it. To me my mom is my superhero. Other kids grew up thinking Batman could beat up Captain America or they wondered if the Hulk was stronger than Superman. NO
not I because I knew the truth. I knew that my mother could kick both their behinds. With a raise of her eyebrow or the clearing of her throat she would make Batman clean up his bat cave and make the hulk find some clothes that fit.
See my mommas bad to the bone. Worked full time, sometimes 2 or 3 jobs raised 2 kids and never lost the cool in her step. One time I was sick and could not make it to a school field trip. I was so upset I cried and asked my mom was there anything she could do.
She went to her room grabbed her belt and cracked it one time. She cracked her belt so loud Monday became Sunday again. Tuesday asked for her apology and Wednesday said he would take her out to dinner.
I told you my mom is bad. She never complained because she knew it would not make her situation better. Instead she showed me the realest thing ever in life. FAITH…Imma say it again FAITH. She pressed and pulled on God the way a believer should. Then she led my sister and me to have the same faith. To believe and know that you know that YOU know God loves you. Sometimes I still hug my mom and rub her back checking for wings because I thought she was a part-time angel.
Another level of awesomeness my mother achieved ( +20 points) was that she was kind but trill. ( TRILL: adjective meaning triple real)
When I went thru my want to be a thug phase she didn’t whimper in a corner. She spoke softly and carried a left hook. With the sweetest voice she told me “ I love you , I truly do. But I’ll kill you before I let the streets have you.” She loved me enough to threaten my life . My momma bad to the bone.
Her most achievement has been the fire that has been alive in her. My mom is in her early 50’s now. I don’t know about your parents but something about 50 makes men and women become who they REALLY are. She doesn’t take any mess and will shut you up because she knows the game. Time after time my mom has pointed out little games women I was involved with were playing. Now in her own personal relationships she has developed a little motto. LOVE ME ,LIKE ME, OR LEAVE ME.
Which basically amounts to I can do with you or do without you. I can really do bad all by myself. So fellas if you want to talk to my mom please get it together. She makes me proud because she’s NOT a lifetime movie stereotype. Having or not having a man will not break her so save the game. When you get to be an elder in this life you have earned your stripes most guaranteed.
My mom has been many things in my life. Mommy, confidant, best friend, dictator, cheerleader ,accountant, coach, sound board , etc…
But even if that all stopped my mom has been the one thing every last one of needs. She’s the angel God sent here before me to look after me. She is my mom and it honestly does not get any better than that.
