I've heard some people call their parent a "friend."
My mother was not my friend.
She was my mentor - not my friend. She was my confidant - not my friend. She was my biggest cheerleader - not my friend. She was my role model - not my friend. She taught me how to be a good mother - she was not my friend. She showed me how to love God - she was not my friend.
She was more than a friend.
She was my mother...so much more than just a friend.
Junior, Billy, Joey, and I - along with our families - will go to the funeral home today then to the cemetery for the final services before Mama is buried.
