happy mother’s day

It’s Mother’s Day Sunday. This Mother’s Day my sons didn’t get a chance to be home because they had just come up to help dad through his recovery. But they sent their best wishes. I am lucky to have such sons who are so grounded and have such good values. I am proud of both of them.                                                                                                             It’s been nine years since I lost my mother and I still miss her every day. My mom was a sweet person and I can still hear her voice in my head. I was so lucky to have the family that I had.  Now I have another mom, just when I needed her. Rose has been such a loving influence in my life. She is a darling lady and I think of her like a mom. Here are some pictures from our celebration last night. Charlotte, whom I love like a sister, went all out and made a fantastic celebratory meal….turkey dinner with all the trimmings. She is the most thoughtful person on the planet even to thinking about the mothers present and giving each of us a gift bag. Thanks Charlotte for all you do to make everything so special for us. IT was such a surprise that brother Jim from Georgia came to vis   it.
