Mother's Day Thoughts


An honest product of our past…made up of bits and pieces of this and that…shaping us into we all are or were.  But are we perfect?  Is anyone?


Girl to woman to wife to mother to grandmother yet remaining all simultaneously; quite a balancing act when you think about it.  Missteps and sadness keep us humble and the best among us grow, and move on…

You learned as only you knew.

Mischievously fun; experimenter of the new and the improved.  Touching lives with each God-given day, without fanfare or applause.  Passing on skills unknowingly.  There is no instruction manual for any life lived…we make it up as we go...

You inspired as only you knew.

Fiercely protective of her world; Lucky Lady with softness in her soul when peeking beneath an outer armor of conviction.  Demonstrating fairness, rightness, and excellent casseroles.  I watched, even though unaware.  I learned, even though there was no test…

You taught as only you knew.

Generously giving of self; money merely a tool for good, to a fault perhaps…oh well.  Encourager of the ridiculousness of youthful dreams and schemes.  Partner for life ‘til death did she part.  Many remember her name…

You loved as only you knew.

Happy Mother’s Day Mother
