Beautiful story, Heather. I to have a lot of “mothers” but, ironically, of my mother, all my aunts, grandmothers, the one I think about on this day is the lady that actually raised me. The lady that actually molded me to what I am, what I became. That lady was our maid, Jennie Warren. A black lady whose husband, Frank, worked for my dad on the farm.
Every morning, when I was young, in school, she would see to it I had breakfast and was well dressed for school. When I got home, she saw to it there was something to snack on, my homework was done, then afterwards made sure baths were done and in bed on time.
She always had stories to tell. About slavery, the life on the farm during the slavery times, and all. She was a walking history lesson to me.
But, on this Mother’s Day of 2023 I want to wish all the ladies, and you, a very happy, safe, and most of all enjoyable day. You ladies definitely deserve it!
