I'd like to dedicate the quote below to my Mom. This is what she meant to me, and this is what I hope I can be to my children too. Life will be full of hard times, but we will always have Jesus and our mothers!!
"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." -Washington Irving
Last weekend when I was in Portland I went up to my Mother's grave sight with my Sister and our girls. For Mother's Day we put some yellow tulips on her grave marker - she loved tulips. It was a beautiful sunny day, and as our thoughts turned to our Mom we remembered how thankful we are to have had her in our lives. How she taught us so much, and helped us to be the women we are today - not perfect but free to be ourselves! Thanks Mom! Happy Mother's Day!

That last photo is beautiful. I've been thinking of you today. It must be a bittersweet day.
