MOMMie DEAREST!

No my mom isn't Joan Crawford.

My mom didn't care if I had a wire hanger in my closet, she never hit me with a wire hanger, or she never threw comet all over the bath for me to clean it. And for my birthday she didn't make me give me give my gift away. I would have have been pissed. Its bad enough that my birthday is on the 22nd of December, and I would get cheated from present, and because of this my mom would give me one or two more presents for my birthday, okay okay they were sock and underwear, but the thought that I got one more present was great. okay lets go back. . . . . .

Back in or around April, my mom made the long journey to America, not really one she wanted. You see, my dad had already paid to make the journey here, therefore leaving no money to give my mom to make her trip back to Ensenada. My dad told her that, once he got a job in the USA, he would give her money to make the trip back to Baja California (thats where Ensenada is at) But what happened? She found out that she was pregent with me. The year was 1984. What was she to do? She was only 17, what would grandma say? OH NO! So she decided she was going to have me, and gather money so that she didn't have to go back and be looked at badly. So she collected all the money that she could get. and after having me went back to Ensenada. Yes, she left my father in the USA working hard,

When she arrived Ensenada, my grandma had taken a trip to another part of Mexico, with, get this, my mom's NEW sister. Yep my mom and grandma were pregnant at the same time. Well the money that she brought with her was not enough. She was not able to get a job like she thought she would have. She left me in Ensendad while she made the journey back to the USA, got another job and was able to pay for someone to go and get me. My mom said it was the hardest thing because when I was brought back, I didn't want anything to do with her. I didn't want to be held by her, this lasted for a while, well it lasted long enough to make my mom not want to leave me any where for long period of times.

Slowly we started to bulid our mother, son relationship. I don't remember my father being in picture. I know I know, at that point in my life I can't really remember that kind of thing. But i'll tell you this much. I don't have a picture of me and my father. wow? that weird, when did this become about the father? Okay, off the subject.

I love my mom. AHHH! I loved those days. FUNNY STORY: My mom told me that she alway tried to breast feed me, and I didn't want it. Why is this funny? I'll tell you later in this blog. But for now lets stick to my mommy. The year was 1990. She was told again, she is pregnant. YEP. My mom was going to have a GIRL. EEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW! Just kidding. lol. I love my sister.

I guess I can talk about my mom like she is a GOD. But in my eye's she is. She has been there thru all the downs in my life and all the ups. When my dad left in 93, she didn't give up. She worked harder, to keep me and my sister feed. Then the worst thing happen, in 94 my grandma pasted away. I don't know how my mom did it. We (mom, uncle and me) went down for the funeral. Down went three, but four came up. My aunt (maria) remember my grandma was pregnant. Thats aunt. Thats why I call her my sister, not aunt. A year later, my mom met HARRY. (just kidding)

But she did met my now step father and had a two. I don't mean to rush the story. But this mostly about me and my mom, not my sister or my aunt, or my two other brothers. or not even about that father that left me or my new daddy.

I love my mom for not only fact the fact that she raise 5 kids, but because when I came out of the closet, she didn't throw me out of the house, she didn't disown me. Okay maybe for a second, but really what is a mothers reaction suppose to be when her oldest son come outs and says he has a boyfriend? Nothing. When I told my mom that I was gay, I didn't try to push that subject in her face, I just let her, in her own time come to me. And it work, we are like best friends. She is happy with my current boyfriend. Although she did have an issue with the fact that he is older then me.

We'll what can I really say about my mom. I LOVE HER! She is my HERO, and will alway be!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!
