Mother's Day

Mother’s Day Mountains have been scaled and paths trekked since childhood. Over the years, my memories often return to Mom. Three children were enough to drive her mad! However, she managed to put up with our shenanigans. Every guilt and pain found relief in her wise words. Relentlessly, she guided…even when we rebelled. ’Steadfastly, she taught self-reliance, showing her love. Delight learned to serve and garden; disagreements estranged. After all of these years and through all of the tears – Yesterdays are gone, but each tomorrow invites Mother’s love.
