"A Shoe Story..."


I thought it would be a good time to share this story with you.
Now I've worn many shoes over the years but these were no ordinary shoes.
In fact,I had wanted a pair of them for years but the circumstances were never
right for me to make such an investment.My own mother had a pair and had worn
them for years before I decided I wanted some just like those one day...

I knew they had to be comfortable.Why I had watched her march around in those
shoes all day,cooking,shopping,she did everything in those shoes.Sometimes I'd watch....
waiting for her to take them off so I could sneak in her closet...
slip them on my small feet so I could wear them,hoping that one day they would fit me.
I finally realized when I got older that these shoes were custom made.You couldn't really
put on someone else's,you have to have your own pair or they may never have the perfect fit.

I patiently waited year after year until it was time to get fitted for my own shoes.
Oh how they measured me up and down and all around...but they told me that I'd have
to wait a few months before I could pick them up.I wanted them to be perfect!
I wanted them to last forever like my mom's pair seemed to.

Some days as I waited for my shoes to be customized to that perfect
look,the perfect size,that perfect fit...I would walk around the house pretending they were
on my feet.My husband would find me in front of the mirror..just hoping I would be able
to wear them as well my mom wore hers.

I woke one morning and the wait was nearly over. My shoes were now ready
As we got into the car, my husband and I talked about anything to keep my
nervous mind off the shoes. Truth be known, I wasn't sure I was ready for them.
What if I put them on and they don't fit? What if they aren't as comfortable as
mother made them look?

I saw someone bringing me a package. Was that my shoes? The package was
smaller than expected and when I peeked inside, they didn't look exactly like I
had so carefully wrapped my shoes tried to point out a few mistakes the shoemaker
had made. Although I could see the "imperfections" I knew that the shoemaker never
makes mistakes. They were customized shoes remember, made to fit me. So what if
they ended up even more special. After marveling in the fine craftsmanship I
suddenly realized why they took so long to make. It wasn't the shoes I was waiting
on exactly, rather my feet to fill them. Just like alot of shoes, they were tight at first.
I had to break them in but my mother was there to guide me, pretty soon they were the perfect fit.

I guess anyone can get a pair of these shoes afterall but not everyone's fit this good.
I've slid my feet inside these shoes everyday since...just like my mother always
wore hers. They are my "Mommy Shoes". All of our shoes get scuffed from time to time
but it's the "soul" that's most important. Wear your Mommy Shoes proudly this
Mother's Day. You never know who may be trying them on. ^_^
