05/14/2006: "Happy Mother's Day"
She works her butt off for a major corporation in a manner she describes as, “drinking from a fire hose.” She raises two children. One struggles with homework and after still reading literature to him every night, she often wakes him at 6am to help him finish an assignment or cram for a test. The other child is autistic and requires more time, work, patience, and energy than anyone could possibly imagine. She runs the household in just about every way including finances and the scheduling all of us. Plus she does her best to squeeze a workout in almost daily.
And now, her husband has cancer.
Sometimes it is hard for her to stop the tears. I imagine it all must come crashing down on top of her. Frankly, It is truly amazing how well she keeps it all flowing. But she has an inner strength that has been forged through fire - a shell that can be hard to crack. Within, she is a tender woman with an incredibly quick and sharp sense of humor that she passed to our son. My heart glows the brightest when she laughs.
Thankfully, the one thing that is easy in our lives is our relationship. We have a great/natural time just being together and I love her with all my heart.
Happy Mother’s Day Jeanette
