Since I was a little girl, you have always been there for me. When I was small, you bandaged scraped knees and kissed away tears.As I grew into a young woman, you gave wise words of advice, which were often ignored, yet you never interfered. Now that I am a Grandmother, you are still there to offer advice, gentle words of support and most of all, love. If God had given me a choice of mothers, I couldn't have picked a better one. In all of His infinite wisdom, He chose you to be my Mother. I thank Him for that. You are the best Mom anyone could ask for.Besides all of these things, you taught me to respect my fellowman, to be honest and to love nature. You also passed down some very special writing talents. I want you to know that as well as being my Mother, I consider you my friend. I appreciate all you have done and all you still do for me. I love you with all of my heart. You are the wind beneath my wings.
Your Loving Daughter
Mary
Happy Mother's Day to all of my blogging friends. I wish you much sunshine, the fragrance of roses and all of the beautiful pearls that life can hold.
Have a wonderful Mothers Day

Good Morning Mary,
ReplyDelete"HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY"!!!! This is such a wonderful tribute to your Mother. "THANK YOU" for sharing such a wonderful story and the pictures with us. I think it is so wonderful that you still have your Mother with you. I know there are some that don't and they do miss their Mother's especially on this Mother's Day. I am "THANKFUL" I still have my Mother as well. My Sister is cooking for me and our Mom today, so I will be going down there after Church today. I hope you and your Mother and the rest of your Family have a wonderful and special time together today. Take care my friend and have a great day. May God Bless You and Yours.
Love & Hugs,
Karen H.
P.S. "THANK YOU" for the lovely card you sent me. I do appreciate it very much. I don't check my emails everyday anymore like I used to. I did get it the other day and it was lovely. I appreciate you thinking of me.

She's beautiful, Mary:-) I'm so sorry I haven't been by the last couple of days...was so busy with the yard sale and getting ready for it, I didn't spend much time at the computer.
