for not making me wear my hood
at the beach
*
I probably fought you a little on this
since patty and cheryl wore theirs
but
I think you already knew
how much I loved
the water
and
the sand
and
the wind in my hair
*
or
you just liked me better

happy mother's day
i really appreciate the fact that you have captured a mother's most unique ability here... to know when to insist on something and when to let a soul be free.
ReplyDeleteI loved this post -- I loved how you remembered this moment -- and what it meant to you. Go mom!
ReplyDeleteYou are hilarious. I'm sure it's because she liked you better. Yup. That's it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day!

ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to you too sweetheart! Where have all of those years gone??? I expect that you were just letting the world (and your Mother) know that a hood just wasn't going to be in the cards for you that day.Obviously you were the one who very seldom developed ear infections, or you would have been wearing a hood too...no matter how determined you were not to!! :-)
ReplyDeleteHugs and kisses...Mom
By the way...I LOVED my Mother's day gifts!!! You were right...you really do know me pretty darned well, cause you always seem to know just what would please me!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
