Obviously Sharon picked an awesome fellow to make babies with- look at the stunning, (modest, humble) results of that double endeavor. Therefore, today’s blog entry is all about the Mama.
Lovin’ all up on Mama Sharon (in no particular order):
#1 Smart Cookie- she keeps her head when all about her are losing theirs. Sharon manages to be very very intelligent without being a smug little bitch about it, and I’m so glad she encouraged me to always be proud of my smarts. She packed me off to college without telling me what to study or then devaluing my creative writing degree. Instead of pointing out that I wasn’t exactly going to graduate with a plethora of job offers, she was proud of me for following my passion.
#2 Long before the Obamas were playing Roses & Thorns around the dinner table, Sharon asked every day, “What was the best part of your day and the worst part of your day?” As a kid I adored it; even a teenager rolling her eyes at the cheesy set-up loved being asked about her life in a general, non-threatening, non-specific way. This lady is a very good communicator: with adults, with kids, with everyone. She has sass, but she still lets you know she cares.
#3 Haaaaaawt mama! Do I need to say this again? Sharon is a beautiful, beautiful lady. Loooooooooong legs and a sense of style. I’m reassured just watching her age- I’ve got some GOOD genes on my side.
#4 She champions her loved ones in everything they do. Greg was the best playwright in LA. When I was a writer, I was the best (female) writer in the house. When I became a teacher, then I was the best teacher those kids are ever gonna have. Dillon is the best singer to tackle ‘God Bless America” and Lucy & Mickey are the best-looking dogs on the block. The force of her confidence makes it feel true, and the feeling of truth makes everyone work harder to fulfill her expectations.
#5 Earth mama deluxe- I don’t know how else to say it, but the lady just emits a glow. Sharon makes everyone around her feel good. I know the serenity was hard-won and the mellow wasn’t innate, but nothing feels more natural as she matures. She welcomes everyone into her home, and her heart. Everyone loves being in her life. There’s no higher compliment.

Beautiful sentiments and I agree with every word! May I add a few?
Sharon is:
1. a wonderful, loving hostess. One always feels welcome in her home.
2. the most upbeat, positive person I know. Usually those people annoy me, but not Sharon.
3. supportive of her friends. She flew all the way to Houston to attend her friends' shows.
4. a person you can turn to with your problems... or the problems of any one in Genoa City.
You are one lucky young lady, missprufock. You won big in the parents lottery!
