Sorta Belated Mother’s Day

May 19th, 2011 § 0 comments

If I recall correctly, there was a time my family played Risk together. It was the first time (and the last, as far as I know) Mom had ever played it. She won, too.

She played as best she could, because none of us would have enjoyed winning if we were just given the victory. Winning is always meant to be earned. Otherwise it cannot be enjoyed.

So she played as best she could, and she won, but she felt bad about it. She would have gotten more joy from one of us winning than from winning herself. If it were possible, she would give winning away.

My mom is just the sweetest. I love her.
