It was basically, NEVER GIVE UP! Of course, my mom went about it the roundabout way. She said, “If you fall off the horse, dust yourself off and get back on that horse.”
To my teenage ears it was blah! blah! blah! Mom was always giving unsolicited advice and I was in the, I know it all phase of my life.” It went in one ear and out the other.
Now that I’m all grown up and she is no longer here, I see what those few words did. They helped see me through the hard times, they taught me to take timeout, and no matter what to get back on that horse like she wanted!
There were moments in life when I wanted to just throw up my hands and say this is enough! I’m not getting back on that horse no matter what. However, her advice had sunk deep even at a time when my head had been so full of other things.
Thank you mom for those profound words. They’ve helped me through thick and thin and kept me going. If you’re looking down from heaven of which I’m sure because you were a hands on mom and heaven or anything up there is not going to stop you from getting the last word in!
Thank you and I hope I’ve made you proud.
