I Remember Mama I remember Mama blowing chewing gum bubbles to entertain us while she ironed. I was too young for school, Sesame Street wasn�t invented yet, the rain was pouring outside and I was awed. I remember Mama sewing at her machine into the night when she had to get up early for work, patching�my favorite pair of cutoffs 'just one more time' or putting pockets on pants because my little brother adored them, and I still hear her words, �There�s all kinds of ways to say I love you.� I remember Mama teaching us that beauty on the inside was more important than on the outside. �A kind word to a stranger might be the only kind word that person heard all day� and how good it felt finding out she was right. I remember Mama telling us to hold onto our dreams. Make them happen and never say �I can�t� and how funny I thought it when she said the world was our watermelon and all we had to do was grab it and take a bite. I remember Mama who taught us best by example with her unconditional love. Love isn�t love until it�s given away and it�s in the giving that we know it truly does come back ten-fold. I remember, Mama. �� ��
