A Mother’s Greatest Joy
By Christine Seidel

Four days before my mommy passed away, I was talking to Jennifer, our new home helper. Mom was watching us. I looked up and saw her wink and smile at me beautifully and happily. She was enjoying watching me, her daughter, interact with the world.
Perhaps it is a mother’s greatest joy to be able to observe their child at any age, engaged in any activity. My friend Joy delights in watching her one year old son Samuel speed crawl across the floor. My mommy Goody delighted in watching her fifty six year old daughter Chrisy talk and laugh.
A mother’s pride and wonder in her child has no bounds. No matter how old you are, you are your mother’s baby, and she is your mommy.
