Happy Birthday Mom...


As I sit here at my desk and take care of business details I am reminded of the date today.

This would have been the day to celebrate my mother's birthday.

However she has passed on and so no celebration. No cake. No gifts.

Merely a wonderful day to remember all that Mom meant to me.

So I wish her a Happy Birthday in memory and know that she is happy and enjoying herself.

I am grateful that I have her genes for creativity.

I am grateful I enjoy the wonder of the world.
Thank you Mom.

    I, too, love the image of that sweet little girl...and your loving tribute to your mum. Sorry that you can't celebrate with her, but I'm sure she's watching over you and smiling.
    Blessings, my friend.

    What a lovely and heartfelt tribute to your mom. My eyes are watery as I write this and my heart goes out to you. I am visiting my mom tomorrow and will give her an extra big hug.
    Lots of love to you.

    I'm assuming that is a photo of her! it's wonderful...as is her memory!

    mothers can teach us so much...and it's a blessing she passed on those creative genes,, that's for sure!

    This is absolutely one of the sweetest pictures ever. If it were marketed for artists, it would sell out, I think!
