Like Mother, Like Daughter
As the title suggests, my mother is the person I spend the most time with. In my life, my mother was my rock and my anchor. When my stomach issues began to go into overdrive, she was there in the hospital to comfort me. When I had to go into surgery for my gallbladder, she was there. She was there for me when I started college and went to her alumni school. She was there when I started graduate school and got my masters in science for Earth Science.
My mother and I look a lot alike. We are definitely the saying like mother like daughter. A funny thing about us is that when I answer my mother's phone and the person is not expecting it, they think I am her. Even my own grandmother thought I was were for a bit till she heard me laughing on the other end.
My mother and I have had our downfalls at times. I am thankful she has apologized for those times. It helps me understand that those downfalls she also regrets too.
My mother is a shield in the darkness. When I decided to remove myself from my biological father and his mother, both were rude and acted without care. It made it seem that they really did not care how they hurt me currently and in the past. After phone calls and letters to them and to be turned away immediately. I was hurt and mad. I wanted to scream and yell. My mother and grandmother stepped in. Both were calming me down and suggested hitting a pillow instead. They allowed me to scream and cry. To allow the pain to be felt.
My mother will always be my biggest support in crafting and writing. She wants me to pursue greater things and enjoy my life. By writing and crafting, those are 2 things I enjoy the most. My mother was my biggest cheerleader when I got back into writing and decided to publish my works. I remember her saying “finally you are returning to yourself. I’m so happy you are writing again.” Like it was a missing puzzle piece that only she could see while I was blinded to the normal days.
There are many others I spend time with. My grandmother and my sister come to mind as well. Simply because both of them have heard some deep secrets of mine and my innermost thoughts. I feel like both of these people I can be open to. I love all three of them for all of their support for me. To allow me to feel even on days I do not want to.
So these are people I spend the most time with and how they have impacted me. Do you have people that have impacted yo
