On Mothers Day...

Everyone who wakes and begins their day today had a mother, she who gave breath and life.
Some have mothers they love. Some do not. Some have mothers who love them. Some do not.
Few are given the gift of a mother who loves them, who they love, a mom who is their best friend

I am one who was given such a treasure

 

My 'Mum' is so very many things to me
in this life of mine

She is my dearest most trusted female friend
my co-hort and co-conspirator

We talk of life of love
of growth and of loss

of challenge and of joy

We share time, cups of coffee

wing emails to each other

laugh, cry, hunt for treasures

analize the world

discussing how we each
fix what we can
discussing how some things

can not

be

fixed

Since my first step, my first word

she has never stopped teaching me

never stopped listening to me

never stopped 'being there' for me

She encourages me when I feel overwhelmed
(as in the pink 'bad day' image, lol)
She reminds me to keep paddling!

(as in the ducks image)

She ever-reminds-me to see the beauty in life

(as in the images of flowers)

She sees the best in me

while being able to be truthful & honest with me
She reminds me to keep growing and learning

She has never failed

to make me feel

loved

My greatest, deepest hope 

as my life continues to unfold

is that I do the same for you Mum

because

I love you 'so'

Happy Mothers Day
