This week’s Spin Cycle topic flummoxed me. I’m supposed to write about me and only me. I wrote about myself so much last week that I seriously considered skipping this week.
But something kept nagging at the back of my brain. Last year I read a post on self-image. For the life of me I can’t remember which blog I read it on. The author stated that she wished she could to see herself through the eyes of someone who loved her. I thought that was a beautiful wish and whole-heartily agreed.
For this Spin I decided to take advantage of my eldest son in his drug-induced fog and ask him what he thought of his mother. This is what he wrote… I haven’t edited it… so please don’t believe it all. Remember, he’s on drugs…
My mom is the most amazing woman I have ever met. She has always been there for me, through thick and thin. She stood up for me when I couldn’t, she took care of me when I needed her too, and always put me ahead of her. Behind that charming smile and those sapphire blue eyes, there is a very strong lady. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t know how to have fun. From booty dancing down the produce aisle, using a fresh package of string cheese as an 18th-century judge’s wig, laughing at her own exceptionally loud burps, or just being a spaz, she loves to have fun. Despite what she may tell you, she is an amazing photographer, a solid graphic designer, and a superb last minute English project proofreader. However, I must admit, her choice in music could use some work. She’s a great person to be around, and she loves living life to the fullest. In short, she’s my mom, and I love her just the way she is.

Doesn't sound drug induced to me. What a beautiful and touching tribute.
Priceless! I'm sure it is exactly what he thinks...my kids would have to be drug induced to that for me! What a loving and sweet son you have. Testimony that you're a great mom!
Aw, what a great kid! Someone obviously raised him right.
I feel like I got a better sense of who you are by reading that. I don't have kids yet, but i imagine that having your child write something like that about you has got to be one of the most rewarding things in life!
That's Mr. A!!! And you MOM!! I'm sure G-Man would say the same, only in his loving way.
That was beautiful. It showed me something. Instead of writing about what I think about myself, it might be better to have others tell me who they think I am. Sometimes they are closer to the truth.
Great post.
I love this. And your son. And now I know, for SURE, that sons can be as wonderful as daughters. Someone loves his mama!
Yep, I think he got it right. Sounds like a description of some one I knew 20 some years ago and got "re-aquainted" with in the last 18 mos. Good JoB Mr. A!!!
Wow, I love it! I hope when my kids get to teenhood they say nice things like that about me!
Beautiful! Love the photo. A classic too!
Awww...what a great way to get perspective on who you are.
Your Kid Rocks!!!
