When I was a very little girl, I gave my mother a frame with delicate, dried, pressed flowers behind it. The sentiment—Mom is another word for Love—it is, an absolute. Of all the trinkets that have come and gone through the years, she still holds on to that frame with those dainty pressed flowers, and it makes me feel loved.
My, how times have changed! Fast forward many years and I now have two grown daughters of my own. I, too, have trinkets collected over the years that I cherish, but let me tell you—THIS takes the cake!! I laughed, I cried...how wonderful to be loved so much! Although I won't be able to save this in a traditional way like all the thoughtful gifts that have come before, it will be forever tucked away deep inside my heart.
Every day is Mother's Day for me, but today...today I feel especially happy. My heart is overwhelmed with Love and gratitude for my daughters who, shouted it from the rooftops, via a billboard on HWY 459N in Birmingham, Alabama.
I hope wherever you are today, you feel loved.
Peace
