They keep showing us how to love
Everything I missed before....
How true
Love you more now than ever before.
Appreciate you more now than ever before.
I was blessed with an earth angel Mom….tears of loving remembering….always in my heart.
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you xoxo
You're following in your Mom's wings!
Thanks for this blog - I love it. Sending a poem I wrote several years ago that echoes today’s post:;
A MOTHER’S DAY POEM FOR FAILED MOTHERS
I know you are legion –
you women who gave birth
and were adored for some brief time.
Yet who for years, watched this day go by
without flowers
no tender memories or words of love,
no special lunches
or surprise visits.
Each year an accusation,
an indictment.
But don’t get lost in that labyrinth of sadness.
You were mothered – by wise women
who took you and loved you,
even in your rawness.
And you were mother – to sons and daughters
who came to drink of your experience,
your unspent affection,
the well that bubbled in you;
who needed you to be the mothers they never had
or the mothers who fell short
or the mothers who never understood them.
Rejoice, o my soul, for the gift of motherly love---
Given and received
Thank you, Sandy! It does indeed resonate! I rejoice with you!
A beautiful way to start my day and kick off this Mother's Day Weekend! Grateful to you Phyllis!
Deep joy to you and yours on this Mother's Day weekend.
Wishing you NOTHING BUT THE BEST weekend!
