MOM

My Mom knew what she wanted and when she wanted it. She always stood up for what she thought was right. She yelled at store managers, walked out of restaurants and fought with her relatives. If they made her mad they never heard from her again. She could carry a grudge forever. But if she loved you she would let you know it. We moved around a lot. At every house we had a garden. She grew all kinds of vegetables and flowers and she always had a compost pile. She started out with nothing and ended up with a garden of Eden. My Mom fought with me and I fought back. I thought I would grow up and walk out of restaurants and fight with everyone and I was afraid. But I grew up, made a garden, stood up for what I thought was right and lived happily ever after. Thanks Mom.
