She did the best she could with what she had. Took me nearly forty years to figure that out...........but hey what is important is that I finally got it. She did not have a manual other than what her mother taught her and I am sure what her older sister insisted on telling her. What was in her heart she knew God had gifted her with and she leaned on that daily. Hers' was not an easy life, as she ventured off away from wealth and comfort to live her dream. The years that followed were filled with animosity from her family yet she followed her heart and made a home for her, her husband and eventually eight children! My dad adored her and they did work together as a team for over fifty years!!!!!! Ultimately she gave me my life! She, through her life attempted to show me how to be the best women, mother and wife that God created me to be! My mom was a women of few words but towards the end of her life...
