When a big horseshoe magnet out of a stereo system is thrown in your direction it is ok to duck and run but...the TV set can't duck or run. Interesting how that magnet curved away from me and found a more interesting target. (Thought I was going to be living in the woods the rest of my life for that one.)
My Mom also taught me how one can express a point.
When throwing one of my sister's doll stroller down the basement stairs one needs to be sure Mom doesn't have a hammer in her hand. My head didn't get the point but my big toe sure did.
Irony too was when she couldn't wait for her babies to walk and talk - then when we did she'd tell us to all sit down and shut up.
Sure miss her. (Passed away in 1974 at age 42 - and not a Christian).

about your mother passing away and not being a Christian. Hey maybe at one time she could have accepted the Lord in her own way. Lot of times children don't see what their parents are feeling. She could've cried many a times without your presence. My mother has cried many a times when she least expected me around, and I'm sure when I wasn't around too. I thank God my mother is a christian but I feel sad for those who aren't. God is good and he knows our hearts and minds.

passing away at such a young age & also I hope & pray that she accepted Jesus as her Savior before her death!
God Bless!

Not me, as my dad said most of those things....he was very strict & my mother was not! Even so, I'm glad I did not end up in jail or whatever would've been bad in my life. Just wish he had shown more love....he & mom had difficult lives growing up & it showed in their grown up years to the family! Mom wasn't bitter but dad was!
God Bless!

<b>"Come here!!! I'm gonna hit you and then I'm going to tell you what you did!"</b>
I was 16 before I realized that if I didn't go to her she couldn't hit me <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">
Mom used to complain when I got older that she'd hurt her hand when she hit me... that's when she graduated to taking off her shoe <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)"> So you know, everything I got, I deserved. Gave my parents a lot of grief but they gave unconditional love. My Pop passed away in '96 but Mom just celebrated her 89th birthday on Sunday. She started the day off when the house that's attached to her's caught fire at 7am in the morning. Fortunately, only a little smoke and water damage. My grandfather built the houses and had the foresight to put a double cinder block wall between them. No fire made it through.... Praise God!
