Hardly a day goes by that I do not think about and miss my Mother
 |
This picture stays on my kitchen windowsill Maybe it's because my friend Anita said goodbye to her mother last week and I was viewing the memorial to her. The memories that come to mind ....so special. Then I start to think about my own Mother and ...being a mother... and being a grandmother. Then I began reading cards that were sent to me 15 1/2 years ago and I could not stop. Extra special when someone added a note, even if they had never met my mother. Some that I could tell before opening, who had sent them. Family, friends, one unsigned ... Then there was this one.  Well it was perfect Different from all the others My mother, your mother, well different from all the others Laughter and tears and highs and lows |
Yes is is a privilege
Yes there are times of laughter
Yes it happens every day
But
It is still a moment by moment reality that carries a responsibility
My opportunity as a mother is still open
and there are still grands that are part of my world
So, Mom, Grammy, Auntie,
Take advantage of every moment to love on those I love so much
I live an exciting life

Always the lady with so much personality, quick on the rebound quips and loved her bracelets. Miss her and my mom too.
I don't remember ever meeting your mom, but I can relate but in a different way. I have missed my mom all my life since I lost her at age 4 and am so looking for that reunion someday soon. Thinking of you Kathy!
I don't remember ever meeting your mom, but thinking about you. I can relate in a very different way since I lost my mom at such a young age. Can't wait for a reunion someday soon.
