My mother deserves to forgive herself for her shortcomings. She deserves to heal herself of the emotional wounds that she has been through. She deserves to recognize her physical and inner beauty so that she can get to a point where she feels she deserves the best. She deserves a loving partner to be with for the rest of her days. She deserves to lose the weight she wants to lose and to keep it off. She deserves to discover her life purpose. She deserves laughter and joy in her life always, no matter what. She deserves credibility after having a stroke. She deserves at least one very dear dear friend. She deserves security.
My mother, with all her human shortcomings, deserves simply the best because she is a beautiful human being inside and out. I think the best way to describe her is to read the song lyrics, The Wind Beneath My Wings (Bette Midler).
The Wings Beneath My Wings Lyrics
It must’ve been cold there in my shadow, To never have sunlight in your face, You’ve were content to let me shine, You always walked a step behind
So I was the one with all the glory, While you were the one with all the strength, Beautiful face without a name for so long, A beautiful smile to hide the pain
Did you ever know that you’re my hero, And everything I would like to be, I can fly higher than an eagle, Cause you are the wind beneath my wings. (chorus)
It might have appeared to go unnoted, But I’ve got it all here in my heart, I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know, I would be nothing without you
(chorus 3 x)
Fly, fly, fly away, you let me fly so high, Fly, Fly, the wind beneath my wings, the wind beneath my wings, fly, fly, so high I get through the sky, So high I almost touch the sky , thank you, thank you, Thank God for you, the Wind Beneath My Wings.
Mom is quietly the wind beneath so many people’s wings. She does so many little things that are actually grand acts of kindness and love. She reminds me so much nowadays of my lovely Granny. Sometimes when I look at her, I see my Granny. I tear up because it is something so beautiful.
