Your Mother Is Always With You
~Author Unknown
She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street.
She's the smell of bleach in your freshly laundered socks.
She's the cool hand on your brow when you're not well.
Your mother lives inside your laughter.
She's crystallized in every tear drop.
She's the place you came from, your first home.
She's the map you follow with every step that you take.
She's your first love and your first heart break.
Nothing on earth can separate you. Not time, not space, not even death...
will ever separate you from your mother...
You carry her inside you heart!

Mother's Day 2011
On this Mother's Day,I am fondly remembering my deceased maternal grandmother as well as my mother. These two women were as different as night and day. Yet they had two things in common, a wonderful nurturing spirit and a true love of family.
My mother and grandmother were role models for me when I started my own family.
I know I'm fortunate to have been raised by two great women! And I am most proud that my sons have carried forth this strong feeling of family love.
Today, I honor all the wonderful mothers who love and sacrifice for their families every day.

Four Year Anniversary of being an orphan
On February 22 it will be four years since my father's death and the first time I felt like an orphan. It's so odd because at times it seems like it was just yesterday that I attended his funeral (so vivid still in my mind) and at other times it seems so long ago.
I think about him every day and he remains a strong influence on how I live my life. He taught me so many things. I have my fond memories to keep his memory alive.
Unfortunately, most of us don't realize how much our parents give us until after they are gone. For those of you baby boomers who are lucky enough to have their parents alive, be grateful and treasure your time with them. I understand it is at times difficult to deal with parents who are experiencing dementia, ill health and/or depression. Look for support from friends, relatives or organizations to help you manage this challenging time in your life. I have recommended internet sites at the bottom of this blog.
