My Proclamation of Love

Dr. Laura, 

My 92-year-old mom is an example of what a mom and wife should be. Unfortunately, we lost my dad this February. They were married for 69 years and all of us experienced the love they had for each other for all of those years. 

My Proclamation of Love

Mom, 

When I learned I was going to be a mother, I wished I could be a mother even half as good as you have been. I believe had it not been for having six children, you would have made a wonderful school teacher. Instead you taught us about life. Your A, B, C's were:

• Always find the good in everyone.
• Become the best you can be.
• Care and love and you shall be cared for and loved. 

There were other lessons like: 

• You don't have to share your pizza.
• Some people should stay away from sewing machines.
• Learn to laugh at yourself. 

You taught me I can make it through anything life throws at me, because there is no other option and things will always get better. And they do. You taught me I can live on a little bit, but have a lot. And I have. Most of all, you taught me how to love and not to be afraid to say I love you - out loud. 

So, this is my proclamation: Mom, you are the best mother in the world and always have been. I am so happy and blessed that you are mine. 

Maureen
