My Other Mom~
~*Marge Tindal*~
               
You have not met the all of me
until you’ve met ‘Other Mom’
The lady who held us together
when my dad was gone~

She homesteads a special place
in the corner of my heart
with memories of quiet making
she holds a sacred part …
of who I am … and who I was
‘Other Mother’ of my love~


~Wanda Embach, I love you~
Happy Other Mother’s Day
May 2003

'Other Mom' and me, taken at a recent outing~

Sending your 'other mother' a load of knuffels from overseas, because she did a great job, holding you together.

Thank you ALL for your sweet comments~

I KNOW 'Other Mom' is reading this, as 'Other Dad' wrote to tell me that he now had a "crying woman" on his hands~

Mom ... the years have circled and kept us together with many memories of some difficult times for us both and some precious memories of all the 'fun' things we did~  With my heart, I thank you for each smiling memory~
(LOL ... now about those ugly stepsisters !)
See .... I KNOW they are in here reading too !

Funny ... here I am, years later, just one woods away from where we all were !

Happy Mother's Day~
I love you~
