Mother's Day

Kathleen May O'Connor and Barbara Ellen Jones - Nan and Mom - some time in the late 1950s

I remember like it was yesterday

The day that I left home

Dad came over sad and serious

But I was keen to roam

It fell to Mom

As it always did

To smooth over life’s hard knocks

With undies, towels and sheets she had

Packed a kind of glory box

And stuffed in there with

Meticulous care

Were the rations for the week

And a plain, plump little envelope

With instructions not to speak.

Some pots, a pan

Some coffee mugs

Toaster with plastic handles, blue

A smallish set of eatin’ iron

And sufficient plates

To feed myself

And one or two mates too.

We packed Dad’s car

And off we set

Heading for the Inner West

A rented room with Janice B

Was where I’d take my rest.

And now it comes to Mother’s Day

Remembering Mom’s loving care

Through all the years since I cut loose

As solid as a rock for me

My Mom’s always been there.

I’ll ne’er forget the words she said that day that I left home

“Take extra care,

My darling son

With girlfriends

When they’re cranky

Comb your hair

And brush your teeth

And always take a hanky”

Mother’s Day

Helvi Oosterman

This Sunday is Mother’s Day, but I feel it ought also be a celebratory day for Grandmothers, and let’s be generous and include the Pops, Diddas, Opas, Grandpas and Grands-peres, Abuelos and Isoisa too.

When grandson Jak was in six or seven, he supplied the following excellent reports of his maternal grandparents. They are of course about us:

Grandma is fun to play with.

Really good to me.

Always loving to me.

Never really angry to me.

Darling grandma.

Mostly always fun.

Always caring to me.

Grandpa is fun to play chess with.

Really nice to me.

Always loving to me.

Never angry at me.

Darling grandpa.

Perfect all the time.

Always caring to me.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you, and have a nice lunch with your extended families as well!
