Grandmums are always MUMs

My mum has always been such a great carer, she is organised and creative, she keeps busy and loves looking after people. She doesnt like to be pushy. Growing up she did too much for us, she worried about us all, and was definitely over protective. She always had a power over me as a child, even though I had my minor rebellion, I could never really go off the rails as I was always too afraid of hurting her feelings. I suppose that is an element of the respect we have for her. Mum still worries, now she is worrying about her granddaughter, my neice Natalie. Natalie may live with friends soon instead of with Paula. Mum worries about this, it reminds me of how she always said that she did not want her girls to leave home before we were married, and we didnt. However, both Paula and I married very young and I know I was still very naive and in some ways still a child when I did marry. Bless our mum for her caring, but Natalie...use the time to grow into a strong and independent young woman. Learn about life and its responsibilities and learn, learn, learn about yourself, who you are and what you want to be in life....take care and have fun...xxx
