Mother's Cameo

Posted by Dianne Christner - Christian Fiction Author on May 8, 2012 at 3:00 AM


Why am I giving my mom a cameo for Mother's Day?


She loves them, wears them, and they remind me of her. I purchased the one in the photo from Victorian Trading Co. There's a watch inside. But why blog about it? Check out the following definitions of cameo.


Literary Cameo - a brief vivid portrayal

Drama Cameo - a Single dramatic scene


I thought it would be fun to give Cameo credits to our moms.  I'll start.


Mom's most used phrase - He/She's so sweet. You see, she sees the good in every situation and in every person. The only thing I can figure, is she gets that trait from spending time in prayer and reflection on the Lord. Mom's eighty-eight. I love her dearly. I know I'll always remember this quality about her.


Lord, I pray for any reading this who have lost their moms. Please heal their hearts and meet their needs.


Leave a short cameo of your mom in the comments below.


PS Mom's not on the internet so this won't spoil the surprise.

My Mom's most used phrase is probably "Isn't that precious?" She loves horses and animals and babies... She has one of the biggest hearts that I know. She took care of her Mother after her Daddy died (Granny never drove and lived 45 minutes from us) for 23 years while working a full time job as a nurse's aide. Now that she's retired she drives elderly ladies to hair appts, Dr appts, church...I could go on! This Mother's Day I will be remembering the last Mother's Day we spent together with her Mother, my Granny. I'm so thankful for that time together!
That's lovely. You are blessed.

I think I would have to say that my mom's phrase would be: What doesn't kill us makes us stronger!
She is the pilar of strength. I am the only surviving child of 7 and the baby. She has been through more loss than any person should have to deal with. She lost her own mother when she was 14. She has always shown me how to be a forgiving person.
She is an amazing mother and a such a good Grannie to my kids!

It's never too late to post on a blog as I get notices in my email when somebody makes a post. Your mom sounds amazing. I'm sorry you're the only one left in the fam. At least your mom now has the blessing of being with your children. Thanks for sharing.

We were watching a movie last night and I told my husband that I love Sandra Bullock because she seems like such a nice person (judging from the personal vibe she brings to all her characters) and also because I think she bears a strong (slightly younger) resemblance to my mom. He smiled and said he could tell how much I love my mom just from that statement. Which I'm suspicious means he disagrees but thinks it's cute that my love blinds me into thinking such a thing. Hmmm. Either way, my mom is such a gentle, patient, kind soul. Truly my ideal as a wife and mother. Everything I try to emulate and always feel I fall short. Which just makes me feel that much more special when she tells me she admires the things I do for my own family. It says something about her that her five children all treasure her and they all live close enough to see her constantly except myself. And being so far from her is the only fly in my ointment. :(

Lady,
What a great story about your mom. I know how you feel because I have an old coke calendar hanging on my office wall. The lady on the calendar looks just like my mom when she was young. I don't think I could ever get rid of it.
