The mother in my life is my wife for no other reason than that for which I became attracted to her. For us both it was the second go at it. My not having children and she having two at 9 years and 11 proved to be a challenge.
A challenge for me until I witnessed the selfless dedication and love which my future wife showered her children with. It became a no brainer, any woman who would work all day, come home at night to cook (and I mean no TV dinner), clean do laundry, keep smiling, and look great too, was indeed a special woman. I never heard her complain. Then I thought of my mother whom heaven and earth will come together for, and I realized either all mothers are the same or I have someone special again. We have been together thirty three years and my only wish is to be reincarnated as one of her grandchildren. My wife indeed is a mother to the highest degree.
