Celebrate Mother’s Day, May 12
Happy Mother’s Day to my dear wife
who is a great mom and to every mother
everywhere.
My brothers and sisters were all gone
from home by the time I was 8 years old.
I missed them but during the summer I
had my mother mostly all to myself. My
dad worked third shift in the coal mines
and slept most of the day. My mother’s
main job was keeping me quiet so I
wouldn’t wake my dad from sleep. Fortu-
nately for him, he had built a small place
behind our house where he slept during
the day. If I didn’t bounce the basketball
and played quietly all went well.
I was close to my mother growing up.
My sisters always said I was “mommy’s
baby.” I came along 10 years after my
other brothers and sisters so probably
it was a little easier raising one child
than trying to raise my four sisters and
brothers all at once.
Life was relatively simple. Some
mornings during the summer we had to
put bug dust on the bean patch in the
garden. Some mornings we hoed corn.
We raised hogs and often there were
middlings to make.
We had sulfur drinking water that
➬➮➱ ✃❐❒❮ ❰ÏÐ ➬➮➱ÑÒ❐Ó ÔÕÏ❮ÑÖ➱× Ø❰ ➬Ö Ñ➮Ù
not caught enough rainwater then it
meant carrying water from our nearby
creek. We had about a hundred-yard
walk to the creek, so we had to make a
lot of trips back and forth to the creek
for enough water. God forbid if I got
busy chasing a crawdad and stirred up
the creek water. It always took a while
●✽✾✿✿
▼❀✽✽✾❁❁✾
❙❨❂❃❄❅❇❈❊❃ ❅❋❍■❏❂❄❙❈
for the silt to settle down and the water
to clear up. Of course there was always
lots of grass to mow with a push mower.
One of the sweet parts of the day was
having lunch with just Mom. Usually it
was sandwich, a soda pop and a Reese’s
Cup or something similar. Once I talked
my mom into letting me have a root beer.
She said, “You won’t like it and if that’s
what you choose you are stuck with it.” I
didn’t like it and she stuck to her promise.
I once asked her what she wanted
me to be when I became an adult. She
thought for a minute and said, “Become
a school teacher.” Looking back I know
the reason she said that was because in
that era school teachers were the only
people in our county who had stable
jobs and incomes. My dad’s coal mining
job was tough and she wasn’t wishing
that on me. In her way she was saying
she wanted the very best for me.
I always felt like Mom was on my side
although she never tolerated misbehav-
ior. We had a peach tree in our back
yard and on more than one occasion she
ÚÐÏÛÖ ÏÜ ➮ ÕÒÝÚ ➮❐Ù ✃➱ÖÙ ➬Ñ➮❮ ➬Ö ÐÖ -
ferred to as a “switch” on me. I suppose
that meant the peach tree limb would
assist me in switching my behavior.
However, Mom was great. I remem-
ber how hard she worked. I know how
passionately she loved our family. She

took care of my dad and my four sib-
lings. She loved God and prayed and
she loved people. I miss my mom. By
God’s grace and mercy I’ll see her again
and my dad in heaven.
My children’s mother is also deceased.
My sons and I miss her every day and I
know they miss her love and devotion.
They have now lived most of their lives
without their mother. Mother’s Day is a
tough day as they can only remember.
If you have a good mother, take a mo-
ment this Mother’s Day and praise her.
Good words, hugs and any deed that
might make her life a little easier are
well deserved. Do something that pleas-
es mom and for one day forget about
yourself.
Maybe your mom and grandma are
deceased. On this Mother’s Day maybe
there are other special moms that you
can graciously wish and express to them
in some way “Happy Mother’s Day.” We
can’t go wrong celebrating Mother’s Day.
