Mom

Mom~To me you represent the strength, grace and kindness a woman should be.

Strength~When I was about Kaid's age, Dad was driving your green pick-up, on Court Street when he suddenly made a quick turn and stopped the truck.   He simply said "Look up."   To this day my heart is filled with pride thinking back to that day, when I watched you on top of a telephone pole, tethered with a flimsy little belt and big spikes on your boots, gracefully directing telephone lines. 

Grace~To this day, my ears ring with:  "Walk like a lady, Act like a lady and you'll be treated like a lady."  

Kindness~Random acts of kindness.   You may not call it that, but  I have witnessed you give on to others, because they were in need. 

Mom, you have been and continue to be a Conductor of my life.   As a child you communicated artistic direction in my life.   Thank you for teaching me that a woman may be as strong as any Man, do anything she puts her mind to while stilling maintaining the beauty of being a woman.

Happy Mother's Mom.
Love,
Andris
