Happy Mother's day to all the mothers out there. And to Maureen Givens I Love you and I Miss you immensely. I miss playing Nintendo with you and laughing at how you always moved the entire controller every time you made mario jump. Gaming was our bond. I remember you letting me play with you on your Atari for the first time. I didn't know then but I know now that it was your way of getting through to me.
I was such a closed off guarded child and during those moments you and I would talk about everything. Lol, you jedi mind tricked me. You were tough on us growing up but you were fair, you loved us so much that you pushed us to become better than average. You protected from and prepared us for the world you knew was out there. I didn't know at the time why you did the things you did but as I grow older it all makes sense.
Before you passed away we got closer than ever. I remember sitting on that porch swing with you talking and just being silly with you. I remember my last time seeing you, sick in bed. You couldn't talk but you could hear me. It was Friday, I had to drive to Jackson, I said "Mommy I love and I'll see you sunday, I'll be back" I kissed your forehead and you nodded your head. That was the last time I saw you. You passed away before I could return.
I'm just glad that we got to be so close before you left this Earth. That's all I ever wanted. You and Dad made me strong and I Love you both for everything you've done for me. I can't put into words how appreciative I am. You both make my life worth living and I'll pass on all the wisdom you've instilled in me. You two are truly wonderful, amazing and cherished people.
Thank you for choosing us to be your children
