My Mom was that way but I am not the woman my mother was?

I come from a big family and I think all of us are the glue. I mean they are my family and they cannot annoy me and tick me off but I do love them and we stick together. I think my parents and grandparents are the glue for us all and we are the glue for them.
You don't have to be the woman your mother was. You only have to be the woman you are. Be yourself. If you try to be someone else then you won't be successful.
I bet you are more the glue in people's lives than you think you are.

Happy to say yes. Our children and stepchildren call my husband and myself for answers to everything from how to cook a special dish to how to reapir the ac/heater. He answers all the repair questions both of help with family problems, child issues, education and illness. If Armagedon happens we would travel to get the kids and grandkids in town and head up through Georgia to pick up Mom, neices and nephews and more kids and grandkids and head for Wisconsin and my daughter and her husbands acreage. I stepped into my grandmothers shoes after her training and love being the Glue!

Yes I am. I never thought of myself as glue until my children and grandchildren told me that I was holding the family together. One of them actually used the word glue. It makes me wonder what will happen to them when I am gone tho. I wanted to make you one of my contacts but was unable to do that.

Our lady who worked in our home for 15 years, had tea with my daughter and myself, in December. she said, nothing would have run well if it hadn't been for me. That was a great compliment, as she is like a sister to me.
But, my late hubbie was always there quietly steering us all on. and private family chats about events at work and the children,always took place, just before we went to sleep at night.
Sometimes we laughed and sometimes we just felt like crying! Behind every strong women, is a quiet gentle giant.

I guess I am but most of the time I feel like a referee or a mediator. I'm always in the middle.
