Queens and Princesses

I believe in opening the door for my mom. They say that how you treat your mother is how you treat women. I open the door for my mom because she’s someone i not only respect and love; but because, as the women in my life, she’s delicate as a flower.

As a six year old boy, i loved to go out to places all the time. My mom and dad loved going to resturants and travel as well. Each time we got in the car to go somewhere, my dad would gentlly, and with care grab my mom’s hand and open her door. My dad would do this function everywhere we went. I watched my dad all the time and saw how he treated my mom like a princess.

At twelve years old, i had twin six year old sisters. My sisters loved going to places like i did at their age. Whereever we went, i opened the door for my mom and my sisters. When we went to resturants, i’d grab little kristen’s hand and grab little kirsten’s hand as i led them inside; after they were in, i’d get my mom and usher her in the same way. In my mind, there was one queen and two princesses.

Opening the door for my mom and sisters through the years programed me. Whenever i’d go on dates, i’d do the same things that i began to value as a child. When the young lady and i would go to the car,i’d gently cusp her hand, and with my other hand, open the passenger door leading her into the car.

Without realizing it, i began treating all women as if they were queens, not just in opening doors, but in how i would treat them. When i would be out with friends and one of the girls asks for something, i would answer her, and get what she needed quickly. I found myself encouraging a girl if i saw her down and always giving compliments.

My mom is the reason i open doors for women today. I learned at a young age how delicate a girl is just by treating my mom like a flower. I treat women like precious flowers all because i open the door for my mom.
