Arlaine Marie Foushee (1918 - 1980)

My Mom, she has been gone over 40 years... she died on my birthday March 7, 1980
My Mom was a very good Mom, I felt like my brothers and sister won the lottery! We were blessed with great parents! We didn’t have a lot of money...but I didn’t know that! My Mom was a great cook, she could sew or make anything! She even cut a full size mattress down to a twin size! My Mom could paint as well! Very talent in so many ways!
I learned from my Mom..even with all her small stature… That you can do anything! don’t take no for an answer there’s always away to do it! My Mom could play the piano… And she could Sing too! She had a really lovely voice! I always felt so safe with my mommy! There are so many great things about my mom ...the older I get the more I understand what she was trying to teach me… I was only 26 when she died! Today I have said out loud to myself.. Mommy I get it now! With being a Mom myself, as well as a Grandma! She also was a good Grandma as well! I had my Mom for such a short time, but I won’t trade what I had with my Mom! I see a lot of people whom have their parent alive today... which is nice but I received so much more in my short time with my Mom and Dad! You didn’t want to mess with my Mom she could and would cut into little pieces before you even knew what hit you! My Mom was always there for so many people as well! People would gravitate to my parents and especially to my mom to help them with their problems! I always felt loved and safe with My Mom! I still miss her very much! I can only hope I will see her someday❤️
