“MOM wanted to be a TEACHER” | Grandma’s Stories

May 11th “MOM wanted to be a TEACHER”

May 9th was “TEACHER APPRECIATION DAY” – – and what better “TEACHER” does one have – – than their “MOTHER”… first and forever.

The above PHOTO is one that I like… as that is “Irene Brady Riley… a “Glennon Family,” cousin… and “Marie Brady” standing on the right. Someday in the future she will be my MOTHER.

As the thirteen child in the “BRADY FAMILY” – – and a girl – – her destiny was to be there for the parents – in the home as the care-taken and companion – – and the question of working outside of the home – – well that was out of the question. Marie did continue in school and was educated to do almost anything – – but her personal dream was to be a “School Teacher” and to teach the “Kindergarten class” as she loved the little children.

Every FAMILY has some extra special and natural qualities of which we give credit to our Almighty Creator – – because if the talent was not already given – – no amount of extra education would help. There are just some natural abilities that we receive – – and each of us – – receive different amounts of talents – – to make us different – – but there are a select few – – that receive mega amounts of some artistic talents – – that we receive – – and when we have these abilities – – we do like to share – – and that was the one quality of my MOTHER – – she wanted to share her gifts to help small children see the beauty in world of artistic drawing and design.

In FAMILIES… if you look up and down the generations – – you can see where some have the same qualities as certain others – – and when you look and see who did receive and who did not – – for instance… let’s take myself… I only wish I received more of what my MOTHER ‘s artistic abilities were – – but when … I look to the future generations from me – – “boy o’boy” it is wonderful – – how Life after Life… copies itself!
