Happy Mother's Day

Here's some photos of my Mom:

When the noise and stress of having 5 kids and a mentally ill husband got on her nerves, my Mom would go out the front door of our house in the projects in Detroit and she'd sit on the trash cans and watch the neighborhood goings on. I remember running home many a day and seeing her sitting out there.


Here she is before she had me and my late sister Linda. She'd had three kids and a miscarrige by the time this photo was taken.

I was almost 3 when this picture of Mom was taken. When I was hesitant to take naps as a child I'd cry until she came and laid down with me. I was 10 when she passed away and I still miss her to this day. If you still have your mother and you get along with her, then call her and tell her you love her because when she's gone you'll regret not saying it more often when you had the chance.
