Happy Mothers Day
Welllllll, my mother is like Slappy's I guess. You folks REALLY don't want to know her. BUT, I have a great-aunt that was a mom to me. She was a school teacher that lived in a small suburb of Detroit, but she was my saving grace most all of my life. She had the softest, most soothing voice I've ever heard in my whole life and she had the most wonderful outlook on life!! She went at life with a zest that you cannot even imagine. She taught me to see the beauty in everything.....even in the moss that grows on the ground, the critters that live underground and the vast dark skies of the night. She always seemed to "know" when I needed to get away from my mother and father for awhile and she would call them and tell them she was on her way to pick me up and take me to her house for a few weeks. I loved being with Aunt Kathryn!! She taught me about love and friendship and of all the good things that life has to offer us. She never called me names when I didn't understand something or if I would ask her questions about things. My parents would always tell me that if I had to ask questions about something then maybe I wasn't suppossed to know about it.
If I were ever asked to write a tribute to the person that had the most influence over my life, it would be all about Aunt Kathryn. Oh my goodness the secrets we shared. She knew all about how my parents treated us kids and she's the one that would raise holy cain with them when she just couldn't take anymore of their stupidity. They knew they had better listen to her too because she would not hesitate to turn them into the authorities. My mother is a very, very spiteful, bitter old woman. I don't remember her not being spiteful and bitter. I do remember my dad used to be happy, but thru the years my mother wore off on him and he's now a spiteful, bitter old man. I used to cry my eyes out sometimes when I would get to thinking about my mother and the hell she puts herself through each day, but I finally came to the realization that I cannot change her outlook on life. She's the only one that can do that. If I were asked to write a tribute to my mother for Mother's Day, I would write it about my Aunt Kathryn. The woman that was a mother to me. She has passed away now and sometimes those thoughts make me pretty sad, but I know she is watching over me. Sometimes I can feel her presence and I can hear her voice explaining something to me. Such beautiful memories!!! Such a beautiful human being!!! I wish everyone in this world could have known that lady. I'm sure she could have soothed the rage out of anyone or anything in this world. That was just her way.
I love you Aunt Kathryn!!!
