TRUE MOMS ARE MOMS FOREVER! by Elizabeth Spencer Mom TO THE RESCUE W hen I was in the water aisle at the grocery store the other day, a mom with two young children passed by me. Rather, the mom and the younger of her children, who was strapped into the cart, passed me. Her daughter, a little bit of a thing who looked to be about three, hung back and was attempting to lug a full gallon of water off the shelf. Just when I was ready to intervene, her mom glanced back and yelled for her to “Put that down and come here!” Little bit obliged, but on her way to rejoin her mom and brother grabbed a beef jerky off the shelf across from me. When she reached her mom, the weary woman (bless her) said, “Quit grabbing things off the shelf!!”
CHOCOLATE AS ART.
As for me, I was at the store doing one of my last big grocery shoppings before my last baby leaves for college. My cart was filled with the protein powder she likes to put in smoothies and her favorite cereal and “that one kind of bread I like” and her almond milk. I am at a completely different stage of life (and grocery shopping) than the mom of that darling imp of a girl. But we are both, equally, still moms. Then, when I was checking out at the store, there was a woman behind me in line who looked to be ahead of me in life by at least a decade or so. She was buying single-serve meals and a small tray of precut fruit that wouldn’t last 10 minutes in my house. Yet if she has ever had children, she is still a mom, too.
