First a little background info. My mom is Leslie Harriet Block Neas. She was born in 1951 to the parents of Sanford and Gloria Block, who have played a huge role in raising me and I love them dearly for that. She has two brothers, Steven and Robert(Bobby). That's it for the background info.
Now for the reason why I'm making this page for my mom. It all started a little over 19 years ago. All of a sudden, my mom was pregnant, with guess who, yep that's right me. Shortly after she married my father, Timothy Neas. Nine months, two days and hours of agony and pain after my mother got pregnant, I popped out of you know where on February 2nd, 1981. It was the greatest day of my life, but that's a given, it was the beginning of my life. For the first five years of my life in Hull, it was just me, but then my mom came to me one day and said, "Scott, I'm pregnant with twins." I thought that this was so cool, because finally I would get a little brother. At least I thought I would, because the odds were on my side. Two out of three possible out comes were that there would be at least one boy. Boy was i wrong, no pun intended. On April 12th, 1986 my twin sisters, yeah that's right sisters, not even one boy, were born. They were about six weeks premature if I can remember correctly and they were very small. I wasn't to happy that I didn't get a brother, to be exact, i wanted to put one back and then have the doctor take out a boy for me, but they didn't. After they were born, had to stay in the hospital for a while because they were too small. Finally, they came home. This was when my mom began to prove that she was and still is the greatest mom ever. Out of nowhere, my father up and left. My mom was left with the difficult challenge of raising three kids on her own, with out any child support at all. Then we moved to the other side of Hull in which we lived for a couple of years. Everything was going great until one night, when my mom's friend who lived in our attic fell asleep with a cigarette in his hand. Next thing we knew is that our attic was on fire. Luckily the fire department got there quickly and prevented it to spread and kept it in the attic. On the other hand it wasn't so lucky because our land lord kicked us out. For the next seven or so months we were forced to live in a one room hotel room. There was one bed and one cot. This is when my mom proved to be even stronger. My mom had to sleep in the same bed as my sisters, who at the time were still in their bed wetting stage, while I got the cot so I would be clean to go to school the next day. Speaking of school, she woke up every morning and drove me from Norwell to Hull for about three months, so I could got to school with my friends. Which to this day I am very grateful for her doing that for me. Finally we moved to Marshfield, which is where we have lived since. At first it was very rough, because I had no friends and I was the new kid so everyone picked on me and no matter how sad I was my mom was always there for me. For a while my mom was on welfare, but my mom didn't like being on welfare, so when they offered to pay for her to go to Massasoit Community College. She graduated three years later. Then she got a job and immediately got off of welfare. This made her very happy knowing that she was supporting us without welfare. No matter how hard it got she never went back on welfare, because she wanted to raise us without their help, and trust me there were some pretty rough times, but my mom always found a way to get us through it. One of the other reasons I love my mom a lot is because no matter what I did my mom would always support me, whether it was school or sports, or anything else for that matter. She pushed so that i would get good grades and when it came to sports she went to every game she could, which meant and means a real lot to me because there are a lot of kids parents who never go to watch there kids play. This last year has been quite hard on my mom because with me being at college, she is all by herself with my sisters whom which I have helped her raise throughout their life. Unfortunately, I feel my sisters are taking advantage of my mom from time to time, which is very hard on my mom. Even so, she is still holding on strong and doing her best, which i admire her for, because let me tell you, my sisters aren't the easiest people to take care of. Most parents probably would of given up a long time ago, but she's still giving it 110%. There has been one new person added who has added happiness to my mom's life, he is a man from Jamaica named Robert. She met him during our vacation for my grandparents 50th year anniversary. They talk quite often on the phone and she is tryingto get him here in the US to see if by whether or not my mom might want to spend the rest of her life with him. I admit at first I was quite sketchy about this, but the more I thought about it the more I became ok with the idea. First of all, my mom has been very happy ever since she met him. Second and most important, I trust my mom, because I know my mom she has made many great decisions throughout my life that have always worked out. Last, is that my mom has been single and lonely for quite some time now and she deserves to have someone to live with for the rest of her life with that will treat her right, help support her and her family, and make her happy. We won't find out if it will work until he comes here. If it does that's awesome, but if it doesn't, it sure doesn't hurt to see if it would. If worse came to worse Robert would just have to go back to Jamaica. Only time will tell if it will work or not and until then I support my mom 100% just like she has always supported me. Well that's all I have to say about my mom for now, well except for that I love her very much and I wish her a happy Mother's Day.
