Mother
mother moth·er (mŭ&phonth;'ər)
n. A woman who conceives, gives birth to, or raises and nurtures a child.
They call me "Mama".
I have been called "Mama" now for over 25 years. I am Courtney's mama, Megan's mama, Hunter's mama and have even been referred to as "Mama" by a number of my children's friends. It is a name that has been bestowed on me with lots and lots of love.
As each of my grandchildren began to talk they called me "Mama". So the list grows, I am Jayden's mama and Kaydence's mama. "Mommie" is what they call their mothers but when they come a running, they call me "Mama". When I see those little ones running toward me with arms wide open, all smiles and yelling, MAMA! - my heart just melts and I go to my knees and grab them up in my arms.
One day while doing some research at work, I came across the definition of Grandmother:

Grandmother
1. the mother of one's father or mother.
2. a female ancestor.
"A female ancestor"? That sounds so...so dead, cold and OLD! Who describes their grandmother as a female ancestor? Who WANTS to be referred to as a female ancestor? There is no loving endearment or sentiment in that description. So, I looked up the word, "Mama".

Now, that's the description I prefer!
Now, that's the description I prefer!
