Missing my mum.

1 Sep 2006

mums are curious creatures. Im very proud of my mother and love her. but we dont get on. she really is super mum though:
engaged @ 16 years old (arranged marriage)
married @ 18 years old
had me @ 19
my sister @ 21
whilst doing all the above she pretty much always worked part time AND studied. at 26 she graduated with a Phd. divorced my old man a year later and when she left him she was peniless.
she stood up on her own two feet with no money and climbed the career ladder and now she heads up the technical R&D for a big multinational and oversee's a team of around 20 guys. Shes done amazingly well in life smile

its a little difficult for me, never really saw eye to eye with either of my parents after they split up when i was young.

I still live with my folks. This wasn't planned or needed in any way that just how its happened.
Now as much as they drive me potty at times i love them so much but my Mum especialy. But often the lads have better relations with their Mums.
When i was a kid and i hurt my self she was allways there to give me a hug and kiss me better. Just as it was last year when i was ill she would hold me during the pain though i coudn't bear her to see me like that she made it easier.
The last few years have seen me looking after them more though they can still do all the basic things, and if i could live my life again it would have to be a damn good alternative to change that part of my life sofar.
This is for my Mum and Dad :thumbup:

My mum calls me by my full name, and if i'm in trouble, I know by the way she says it! :shock:
.I'm staying at my dad's at the moment, i'm having a new bathroom and kitchen fitted, and I have been sitting up late talking to him, and I have really enjoyed it. I think as we get older, we understand and appriciate our parents more.
So, to my mum and dad,
thanks, I love you both and understand what a hard job it is being a parent. :thumbup:

miss my dad more than i could ever put into words and yet our entire relationship was fraught with arguments. just as we started to see eye to eye, he died dunno

sometimes i think that the great scheme of things has a virus rolleyes
