Mothers are unique, and deserving of love. Image By Shutterstock.CLEVELAND, Ohio – For past Mother’s Day columns, I’ve written about my family. That led to others telling me their stories. On social media, I recently asked for memories of mothers.Most of my youth was spent thinking that I had most certainly been switched at birth. My calm, patient, soft-hearted mother could not have created this anxious, awkward, hard shell of a daughter.
We learned about each other between pitches and outs. Our cheers were “I love yous”; our home run high fives were hugs. She and I will always have baseball. We’ll always understand each other through batting averages and pitch counts. They showed me a mother’s unconditional love: Acceptance, patience, kindness, and mutual respect. Today, Barb is 80, and Joan is 90. I literally owe them my life. Because of their combined love for me, I am a better mother, grandmother and friend. And I now joyfully look forward to choosing a way to celebrate these awesome women each year on Mother’s Day!Having a mother figure can help hold a family together in hard times.

Right now we say Mom is on a month-to-month lease. My mom is the strongest person I know. I can’t imagine what goes through her mind every night when she lies down in bed. I would never sleep.
