NO one could ever come close to being like my own mother.
I have had several ladies who have held the position but there is only one mother the Lord gives to you.
Mom, Rachel Elizabeth Brickhouse, is the only mom I really ever knew.
She was a wonderful lady and one that I am close to so very much even within her passing I still remember the things she taught me.
I do call her Blessed as the Scriptures say I would.
For Mom was the greatest friend I could have ever had.
There were riffs within the storm from time to time but the love was always there.
I really love Mom with all of my heart and life.
She gave to me when she had little to give.
I will always remember the last Christmas gift Mom gave me.
It was a five dollar bill.
She is now passed away over twelve years but remains to be ever so close to me.
