Dorothy Mae Jackson - March 2, 1949


Christmas 1993

Long overdue for a Momma post. I had a draft set up for her for the longest but never got around to actually writing anything. It’s definitely not because I don’t have anything to say about Dorothy Mae Jackson Samuel. I’ve mentioned her in previous posts but because she is so special to me she deserves her own. There is so much I can say about my momma but I’m going to keep this short, simple and sweet. You are a reflection of your parents, everything you do reflects upon them. My momma isn’t a boastful person but every time we are around my work/church people she is always telling people how proud of me she is and that at 38 years old, I’m still her baby.  For me, that trumps what anyone else has to say about me. Everything else is null & void  A mother's love is the most gratifying feeling in the world. Nothing else matters. My momma has always had my back, she has never let me down, anything I need from her she will provide. I want be able to give to her as much as she has given to me. That's how I show my love for her but I don't have it like I want it so it's only so much I can do to let her know how much I love and appreicate her. Me, not having to ask her for anything would be the best gift I could ever give her. I hope one day very very very soon I can give her that.
