May 14th – Mother’s Day
2017: A Mother’s Day “First” for Me
“There’s a first for everything. This is a first I’ve never look forward
to. It’s my first Mother’s Day without my mother. My Mother died this
past December. She was 88 years old and struggled for years with
heart issues. I find it interesting that a woman who had the most
amazing, kind heart and soul was, in the end, betrayed by
her own physical heart when it finally gave out. My last few days with
her I will count among the most precious of my life. Nothing was left unsaid.
This years Mother’s Day piece was inspired by my last few days I
had with her, sharing with her my gratefulness for her love, her
dedication and devotion to me as her child and the inspiration she will
forever be to me. I know from experience that you feel the same way
about your mom too. So here it is, my newest addition to my Mom
collection as well as a few classics to share.
Whether it’s one of these pieces or one you write yourself, this
Mother’s Day take my advice and remember:
Life is uncertain, leave nothing left unsaid.”
