Each year I think of this and of Mom. And again, I hope that I have become someone whom she can be proud of…
Dear Mom,
I am so thankful that you are pain-free and happy on this bright spring day. Today is warm, the sun is shining and the world is full of the promise of new life. The beautiful colors are so welcome after the bleak, cold winter. The aroma of spring is just a tease of all that awaits us in the summer. But this is no surprise to you. I’m sure that this is what each day is like for you now. Reunited with Dad, Grandma, and Grandpa after all of those long years must make every day a celebration for you now.
But on this special day in my world, I want to thank you for all of your love and nurturing while you were here with me. You showed me how to love and how to be loved. You taught me compassion for others and to love freely with no judgment. And even though you are not here to share this day with me, you continue to teach me as I reflect on the way that you lived your life in this world.
I hope that on this special day and every day, you can see how much you contributed to making me the person that I am today. And I pray that I can be the kind of person that makes you proud to be my mother.
Happy Mother’s Day Mom today and forever.
Love,
Your Daughter
Beautiful! Perhaps one day I can read a post, book or just about anything you write from your heart that doesn’t leave me misty eyed before I even can finish!
P.S. I’m more than positive your mother is very proud of the woman you are today-and have been for a long time…Happy Mother’s Day…
Thank you, Sandy! Happy Mother’s Day
Dearest Kathy, this Mother’s Day post is so beautifully written as all of them are, but this one is special. Happy Mother’s Day to you, too, for all the many ways you’re “mothering” all us readers with your wisdom, compassion, intelligence and words of comfort, hope and cheer. Sending love and best wishes to you today, and always, for inspiring me in so many ways. xxxxoooo, Pam
Thank you, Pam and Happy Mother’s Day to you as well!
