MOTHER SUPERIOR

Of course while we’re on the subject of motherhood, I can’t finish this column off without a tribute to the most inspirational woman in my life.

The person who’s been there for me no matter what, picked me up when I’ve fallen both physically and mentally. Never judged me and always believed in me even when sometimes I didn’t.

Been my biggest champion, given me a good kick in the behind when I’ve wallowed in my own self pity and been the voice of reason when I’ve needed it .

So mum, I dedicate this column to you , not only as far as I’m concerned the best mother  in the world but also the woman who when told by a certain millionaire business tycoon on a visit to her work place  “ I own this store ,which means I own you “ turned and retorted  “ nobody owns me, mate” makes me hope i can always aspire to be as fearless and feisty as you .
