Mom apparently is making the rounds. My sister had a vivid dream of our mom looking radiant and my daughter was surprised to see her grandma in her dream. Pray for a sweetheart-woman who just lost her mom - to join the club is heartbreaking. Still...to all moms out there, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! God bless you! And to any dads that might fill that roll, too.

Forget me not! How could I? It’s Mother’s Day… The angel toppled over alongside your house… Dad’s house. I upright her and lay fallen red rose petals on her lap. I snap a picture and show it to Dad - he smiles. He smiles, Mom! I sit on the couch, open Facebook and up pops us, Mom. I posted this photo two years ago. It’s us, Mom! 5/10/2023

You cannot but grieve on this day. Pity some people do not appreciate Mother's Day.

A wonderful sense of nostalgia in this beautiful poem, Kim. I have wonderful memories of my mom, an amazing woman of high ethics and intellect.

Thank you, Carol! Sounds like a wonderful mom! <3 Mine was the best listener, so compassionate, a friend. We spoke “I love you’s” as if we were singing a duet, the last time I spoke to Mom, not knowing she would die. God bless you, sweet Carol!

Those pop-up Facebook memories hit us like a gut punch. Seeing them brings tears of sadness, but joy in the moments we shared. Happy Mother's Day, Kim.
