The Moment

Get to know my mother in this moment. Though we 3 have the same mom, we each refer to her as “My mom”. My mom loved music, slow jams played as we went to bed, gospel blasted as she cleaned; A clean house was her forte, house set prepped for a photo shoot. Our chores seemed to be filled with joy as the music made you move. She was into interior decorating and even completed a certification. Classy and sassy. My mom enjoyed shopping and dreamed of shopping, writing and reading. Her skills were offered in service to anyone in need, the cover letter, the follow up letter, the thank you letter, the character letter, and now nostalgic letter you take to the store to purchase cigarettes. But the greater light was experienced in poems and expressed in the passion for love - love of family and friends. My mom was a kindhearted lady, even when we had little, she always found a little more to create a care package for family and friends in need. The door was open if you needed a place to stay, someone to talk to or just needed to be reminded that you were loved.
