I was reflecting today on the mothers in my life, past, present and future. I realized that my mother has been gone for 50 years now. She died when i was 21. She was a wonderful, loving, supportive mom and I will never forget her. Since then I have been blessed with other mothers - my stepmom, who was a real blessing to our family and especially to Dad, and my mother-in-law, possibly the best mother-in-law ever. My husband used to joke that if he and I ever had a fight I'd be the one who would go home to his mother.
Now I am enjoying watching my daughter and daughter-in-law in their roles as mother. I must say they both seem to be doing a fine job of parenting and it's fun to be an observer. It's wonderful to be a grandma and I can't help thinking that someday it will be awesome (as the kids say) to be a great grandmother - but no rush there.
