She gives kisses and hugs and tucks the little ones up in bed. She kisses boo boos, wipes noses and tears. She referees and cheerleads, teaches colors and counting and manners. She feeds and bathes and picks up after. She has eyes in the back of her head. Mother
She attends classes, writes papers and takes tests. She apprentices in the local school, fills in for the absent teacher and chaperones the junior high dance. Student and teacher.
She tends her elderly clients, runs errands, give meds. She arrives on time, bonds with her folks and always goes the extra mile. She gives tender, loving care, a gentle hand and even resuscitates when that situation presents itself. Caregiver.
She cleans and organizes. She paints and decorates, fixes and repairs. She sweeps, dusts, polishes and creates. House plants thrive and her thumb grows green as she learns to garden and landscape. Domestic engineer and artist.
Petite, pretty; beautiful bride. She supports, listens, comforts, encourages, cajoles, teases and rejoices with him. Softball widow. Wife.
She entrusts her precious ones to grandparents even though it is hard to leave the little ones. She welcomes in-laws with open arms and makes gifts of peanut butter and jelly and cashews; she is hospitable and generous. Beloved daughter-in-law, Tracia
