An Uncommon Bond

She is known as Monday Mom.  

My Monday Mom is a special lady, I did not know her before I waited on her. Strangely enough from the first time we spoke I felt like I had known her my whole life. Every time I would see her I would feel a sudden warmth in my heart. She treated me different than the other 50 ladies there. her beauty was striking it was natural and real she looks like a modern day Jane Wyman. I could never figure out why I felt the way I did about her, until I realized she is the person I always wish my mom had been, the way she treated me to her personality. See my mom and I don’t have a very loving and close relationship. My Monday mom, just would go above and beyond to treat me with kindness that she didn't have too. She began to ask me about life and school , how I was doing. She began to hug me all the time before she would leave. It was different I never had that before, so for ever I would think about tell her how I felt , but that scared the s**t out of me. I didn't want to seen weird or make her feel uncomfortable. But eventually I worked up the courage to tell her how I felt, and that was the best thing for me. To my surprise when I told her how I seen her as a mother figure especially since I don’t see mine, she looked at me and said she felt the same way, now obviously not as a mother but as a daughter, which works out because she doesn't have kids herself and the first time she said “I love you” I no joke had tears in my eyes. From this point on she has continued to change my life everyday. I still cant explain the connection, but the last conversation we had opened my eyes and made me realize how much she actually does love me. She said she hates to see me get so upset at work over the way people treat me, it bothers her because she cant help me or change what I am feeling, and I think that is her motherly instinct showing.. I told her I am sorry that it upsets her and that when I truly grow up I wish I could be half the women she is… Her response defiantly made me cry… She said “ god i don’t know why you love me so much? But trust me, you are more like me than you know…… may be even better! How can two people who never knew each other form such a bond?

I think we all have people who come in to (and out of) our lives that can influence us significantly. Sometimes, it's merely a stranger on the street who gives you a smile when you're having a bad day. Other times it may be someone you've known for years but have only gotten to really know recently.

It's so special that you have found and built a connection with someone who you can look up to as a mother figure...and maybe she needed that connection with you just as much as you did with her. Some people just click together, vibrate on the same frequency. Cherish it.

Thanks for sharing!
