Mother's Day: Remembering My Mom ~ Thankful to BE a Mom

 

 

This dear woman ~ Roselavone......my mom

 

 

She was a beautiful woman.

 

One of 4 kids ~ the only girl, yep she had 3 brothers.

She enjoyed military life, loved tennis and golf, needlepointing ~

was a good wife and mom.

 

I only wish I could have had her in my life a bit longer.

I'd love to just sit and chat with her...to talk with her now that I'm older

and appreciate all that she lived.

 

I thank her for her dedication to us girls ~ to her family.

She was a strong woman.  She had a beautiful smile.

She and my dad had an amazing relationship.

I love you Mom.

And these kids ~ oh my....

what a treasure they are in my life.

Thank YOU, each of you, for making me a mom.

I treasure my role as mom ~ the GREATEST job I will ever have.

The JOY of my life.

 

Just yesterday right?!?

I remember it like yesterday!!!!!!

Precious then....and precious now.

 

And of course, the kids' spouses have added yet another aspect of mothering.

I cherish those relationships so much.

They make life richer yet.

 

Special women in my life ~ blessed beyond measure.

Alden's mom was a TRUE blessing in my life.  She taught me so much

about loving and giving (and cooking that good ole southern cooking). 

She was a gentle and wise woman.

(Alden is much like her.)

Special women in my life ~ blessed beyond measure.

 

Happy Mother's Day to you all ~

and to all the AMAZING moms out there!!!!!!!
