FMK - Mema pt. 2

So here is the rest of the info you need to know about Mema.
Mema is naturally funny. She is very quick and has a fantastic laugh. It goes ha ha ha then snort. Always three ha's then a snort. It is one of my favorite things about her.
Mema is the most obstinate woman I have ever met. And it's not a bad thing. The funny thing is that she will say over and over again that her mom, Mimi, was the most stubborn woman ever. And that may have been true. But, Mema is much more like her mother than she will admit. She is stubborn. And she is right, most of the time. Everyone makes mistakes but Mema sticks to her guns. I know that this sounds like a negative but it really is not. It is one of her endearing qualities. It makes her who she is. Once her mind is made up it is not going to change. More people should stick to their guns and go with their decisions. She is not wishy-washy in the slightest. If you need evidence, she has had the same hairstyle, with varying heights, since before I was born.
Mema is a strong lady emotionally. She has become the rock of the family, though your mom says I fill that role as well. But, there is no question that Mema is in charge. Whenever there is a family decision to be made, she makes it. Everyone defers to her on these matters. She takes next to no joy in physical remembrances. Sure, she has knick-knacks from family members who have died, but I believe she has a much stronger emotional memory. She is not one to hold on to old shit. She can handle the planning and execution of emotional matters. It is something I hope I inherited from her.
Mema is a lady who likes her potato pancakes.
Mema is a lady with conservative, traditional values. She believes that there is a right way to do things in life, an order. She is not a woman who accepts radical change well. She needs to plan for the change and have a hand in its course. Her system of values give her a foundation to build from. While most of us, myself included, have a shifting set of what we believe to be right and wrong, Mema knows what is right and wrong. And has for some time. I think that knowing what you believe in and think is right is something we should all strive to emulate.
I could continue about her favorite books and movies and music but I prefer you to experience that with her. The most important thing to know about Mema is that she is already crazy about both of you. And she will do everything for you. She will be whatever you need her to be, for the rest of her life. She is nothing if not devoted to her family. She will love you stronger than should be possible because that is who she is. She is a woman who holds on to what she cares about. She is a woman who loves unconditionally.
I can think of no better way to sum up your Mema and how lucky you truly are than this: Everyone of my friends, and even some family members, have wished that my mom was their mom. I know this because they have all said so. Every single one.
