These remarks are purely personal.  They´re about the relationship we women often times have with our mother.  When we are very young there is no one we love more than our mother;  we need her near us all the time.  If we get hurt, feel sick or tired,  only mom can comfort us.

Later as teenagers we want to be like the most popular girl in school, a movie  star, a pop singer, even our best friend´s mom.  Our mother is old fashioned, knows nothing and does not understand us.  Her taste in clothes is awful, she does not approve of make-up and, again, she doe not understand us.

But, some years later, I become a mother.  I am terrified of my baby and only mother can help me.  She knows it all, after all, she had me and I am all right.  She does not mind my calling at all hours to tell her my baby is crying and so am I.  God bless my mom!

The most perfect mother-daughter relationship I have known is that between Fernanda and her mom.  Carmelita is a lady.  She is well educated, a great cook, designes clothes and can sew like a pro and she has impeccable taste.  Fer values her mom´s opinion; she worries about her and loves her deeply.  Carmelita loves, knows and appreciates profoundly her daughter as a woman, a mother and a professional.

A few days ago, Fer´s son José got married.  Her mom designed and made both their outfits.  Fer never questioned her mom´s taste and both looked lovely.  I find this trust remarkable.

Carmelita, Fernanda, Laurita and all mom´s who visit us here at Orgullosamente Hispano, HAPPY MOTHER´S DAY!
