Mother's Day is important because without it you just don't know. So much is written these days about not having to be stuck with the family you got - go out there and create a Friends family or a Cheers family or a Grey's Anatomy family - a group of people who'll understand the post traumatic stress surrounding a visit from mom.
So Mother's Day is my Oscar night. Out of all the people in the world they could have chosen for mom, the kids are honouring the one they got. And I'm doing a Sally Field - "You like me, You really like me". Oh yeah, there were lots of days (ok, every day) well moments in every day that they really hated me and to be honest moments when I really hated them as well but what counts is now. As young adults, do they think I did a good enough job for them to be an asset to God and country and their loved ones and themselves. We made it. We got through all those difficult phases of growing up and their father and I feel so privileged to have been a part of it all.

About Me
- ruthdemitroff
- In the 1970's, I was studying English Lit and Psychology at UWO, worked as a legal secretary, graduated as a nurse from Fanshawe College and then worked in the HR department of General Motors. In the 1980s I was back at UWO putting hubby through part of his B.A. in History and his M.Div. Since then I'm a clergy wife with 4 offspring in their 20s and I'm still putting one through business. Now it's time to find a new learning passion and I've chosen e-learning.
