This is an e-mail from my mother sent in response to one of my posts on April 24th and it's comments:
I don't mind being known as short, ugly, or even as a
poor excuse for a horsewoman. But the one thing I
don't want people to think of me as is a handicap or a
stumbling block. I went to my son's web site recently
to find out that he felt I was one of the most
influential persons in his life. What a great honor
parenting is but, also one with an awesome
responsibility. You see, I have spent 48 years trying
to literally survive my parents influence and I would
never want my son to waste his brilliant energy doing
that. He was everything I EVER wanted to be by the
time he was about 12! How could he ever disappoint me
at 19 when he has exceeded my expectations a thousand
fold? Yeah, I wish that the events and externals in
life could turn out the way I wanted but wishing does
not mean that the wish is the best way. So I sit here
trusting that God works everything for the good of
those that love Him and I still wish from time to time
that I would win the lottery!
