Happy Mother's Day

Tomorrow is Mother's Day, and a very Happy, healthy and wonderful Mother's Day to all of the moms. I know that my men will have special gifts and cards for me. One of my sons, Bill, always writes a heartfelt and special message for me in every card I receive. My other son, Dan, who lives out of state will video chat with me when he is not working. I am very blessed to have them as my sons. They have turned out to be passionate and compassionate young men who have done so much in their lives already-much more then I have completed at their age.

This is also a day to recognize that it is almost 4 years since my mom passed. While there was years of minimum communication, we grew closer over the last years before she left. While I believed mom and I were very different when I was young, I realized that at the core, we were so much alike. I notice this more now that she is gone.

When I was reflecting on all of this yesterday, I was wondering how many Mother's Days do I have remaining. Yea...kind of morbid....I know. I was doing the math and trying to figure all of this out. But an awakening came from all of this: time is limited and very precious. Use it wisely, joyfully and lovingly. For there are no do-overs! Enjoy your day! Lots of love-Debbie
