Mother's Day

Every year for the last 20 yrs I have gone to the cemetery to visit my mother. I pray, I cry, I talk. It is a thing we do, that offers comfort. I know full well that my mother does not really reside in this underground box. I know that she truly resides in my heart. I know that she is alive in the values of being the best person that I aspire to be. I know that she is an impelling force in my marriage built on lessons she taught of commitment and family. I know that her legacy lives on in the faces of my children. The renewal of life is continuous; the beauty of it is never-ending. I am thankful for my mother, the past and all that she gave to me. I am also excited for the future that is possible because of the people that came before. Happy Mother's Day Mom
