Are You Becoming Your Mother? And a Sweet Poem by My Dad



Happy Mother's Day all!!! I am eternally grateful for my beautiful Mother,  Grandmas, Aunts and friends that are doing the hardest job in the world! Being a mom is not for the weak! So here (holding a mimosa) is to you!
I feel insanely honored that there was an article written about my mama and me on Sheknows.com "Am I Becoming My Mother" this week, and wanted to share it with you!


Back in 1999 my Dad wrote this sweet poem for my mom that I also wanted to share with you all! I hope you enjoy it!!      

My Place in the Animal Kingdom

For all the years it’s haunted me…“What was my role in life”?
And while I searched to find it, I “filled in” as Mom and Wife.

I had longed for a title, a position, a degree…
And if I were an animal, which one would I be?

A wise old owl that knows it all or a sly and cunning fox?
In business, would I be a shark or wash up on the rocks?

A bull in the marketplace or a quiet, passive lamb?
How long would I have to wait to find out who I am?

                                            

Then a snake came near my den one day and I was suddenly aware…
When he tried to steal my cubs away…that I’m a snarling Mama Bear.

            Written by Bill McCulloch for his wife, Kim in 1999

Happy Mothers Day!!

  1. I read the article and it is great, Molly. I think, perhaps, we all have at least a little of our mother's in us. Your mother is lovely and the poem your father wrote is very good.

  2. Gated communities benefit from nearby patrols that respond to emergency security resident concerns quickly. They reinforce existing security, giving homeowners added peace of mind, especially during nighttime or in response to unfamiliar visitors.
