Who & How is a mom profile. We ask the same questions and get mighty different answers. This is where we get inspired, encouraged and impressed. Tell us how the heck you pull it off.
Kids (ages): 30, 27
What do you do? Homemaker, volunteer, seamstress
What does a typical day look like for you? Each day is different as I deal with my physical handicap. I talk to my daughters everyday to just keep in touch and I help out my husband when ever I can. I try to keep busy and engaged with
others.
Biggest misconception about motherhood? The biggest misconception , I believe is that your job as a mother ends as your kids grow older. When really mothering is a life time job that must adjust and grow with your children so they become responsible adults and you become someone they want to have a relationship with as they live their lives.
What is the best thing you have ever done for your family? Adjust our lives and work so we could spend more time with our children.
What is the best thing you have ever done for YOURSELF? Challenge myself to try new things and stay involved and interested in those around me.
What is the biggest struggle you have had with motherhood? I had both my children after my husband and I were in a car accident and I became a paraplegic. I raised my daughters while I struggled with the challenges of being a para. The four of us faced living with this handicap together.
What are you most proud of — both family and self? In spite of all our challenges Paul and I have been married 33 yrs and we are still in love and consider each other our best friend. Also our daughters are beautiful, intelligent, responsible women who love us and love life.
Anything you would like to say to other mamas? I want to encourage young mothers to keep at it, laugh more and be willing to grow and learn as your children do. Don’t let the “dailies” crowd out the long term goal of raising children who will contribute to life and those around them. Remember that “This too shall pass.”
Tell your story in six words: Strong woman is blessed with life.
