Dad was a professor at the University of Notre Dame. Mom was a full time mom and housewife with six young children at home. She was a graduate of the University of Chicago and an accomplished classical pianist. She was also a writer and author. As intelligent and capable as she was, she accepted her role as a full time mom.
When dad arrived home each evening, dinner was on the table. Mom had put on a beautiful dress, fresh makeup and many times she was seated at her grand piano playing Beethoven or Tchaikovsky.
Dad was also a lecturer and traveled from time to time. In support of him, Mom would remind me, “They also serve who only stand and wait.”
I admired her and loved her greatly! Don’t ever forget to thank your mom!
