A Mother’s Day Salute

My mom passed away many years ago but I am fortunate to have lovely woman in my life to lean on and vent to

I lost my mom many years ago.So Mother’s Day is a very difficult day for me to absorb. Because of this my three boys and my husband make it a tradition to fuss over me every year. They Shower me with gifts food flowers and their company for the day. I love it but It took time to get use to because  after all as a mom its your nature to take care of others. Growing up in a family of 6 is a lot  of work for 1 mom to handle but my mom she did it. She did it with patience and grace .Her heart was as big as eternity and filled with love kindness compassion and respect for us and others.  She always made time for each and everyone of us. She was an amazing women who never asked for anything from anyone.She was a giver and never spoke badly about others.She was a creative and a talented seamstress. On picture day her lovely handmade dresses made there first debut . She cleaned the house at night when we were all asleep so she could spend her time with us during the day. I always felt love no matter what happened in my life I knew she was always gonna be there for me. She was my angel on earth. So when my mom was diagnosed with cancer right after I graduated from high school, my whole world came to a stop.  I couldn’t imagine living in a world without my angel.  But fate steps in and there is nothing to do but plead with god.But when the pleading and the bargaining does’t work god steps in and gives you a gift. My gift was my husband of 35 years who got me through the worst moment of my life, my moms death in 1984. He became my angel when I needed one the most.Then there are my three sisters and two brothers to lean on as the years pass. So although my  beautiful mom is not on earth she is my angel in spirit now. Everyday I feel her love warm my heart and surround my soul like an enormous hug. My mom taught me love kindness respect patience compassion and there is beauty in all things. She always said if you are having a bad day someone is having a worse day so embrace it to make a better day tomorrow.I thank my mom for making me who I am and giving  me her strength to raise three wonderful boys.So Embrace life and make everyday count no matter what. Create a great memory that imprint your heart and others forever.

 

Happy Mother’s Day

A toast to all the moms out there This day is for you. Enjoy  yourself and create an un forgettable memory with your children or pet I know Mothers Day has passed But its never too late to celebrate some one special in your life.. A mom is someone to treasure each and every day. Because you never know when faith will step in and take her. I also understand that some people don’t have a good relationship with their mom because of difficult situations or hardship that has manifested in life .But in my heart I know everyone has a special women or person that. has made  a difference in their life so reach out and let them know.

My Butterfly Garden

Hey lets go find some nectar.

Hey lets go find some nectar.

I have always loved butterflies and their individual beauty.I had no idea that they were a dwindling species. Until my husband and I visited Phoenix Arizona. We took a day trip to a place called Butterfly Wonderland http://www.butterflywonderland.com,
What a great place to visit.
The tour started with a 3D movie about the flight of the butterfly. The 3D animation was fabulous. I hate to admit it but I was roped in. I was like a child seeing her first movie in the Cinema.The movie was very informative and visually beautiful. I felt like I was flying with the butterfly through it’s miraculous journey. The next part of the tour was the indoor butterfly garden,Every butterfly you could imagine. What a wonderful sight.

I think they found each other in my garden!!!

Butterflies are like most animals or insects, In the warmer months they search far and wide for their mate in all the 50 states. They decide to settle in for a short visit lay their eggs and off they go to Mexico, leaving the colder more brutal months behind. In Mexico all the species gather together on the vast trees in unity. Unfortunately the warm tropical countries are being swallowed up by construction and the butterflies safe havens are being destroyed. But every year their survival is in danger.
So this year I was inspired to plant a butterfly garden to help the species survive. It’s been worth it. I am addicted and drawn to the garden. Every morning when I get up I sit and watch which butterfly species has visited

Sympathy

Sympathy is today’s card. This is a card that I hope I don’t make many of. Unfortunately it’s one of life’s stages we have no control over. My neighbor recently lost his mother

I know too well how it feels  to lose a mother. My mom passed away 28 years ago August. My husband and I  had planned to marry in May of that year but my mom was very ill with ovarian cancer.

So we planned a small house wedding on September 15th. On August 6,1984 mom passed away at home .We debated whether to change the wedding date one more time or continued with our plans.We knew she would want us to keep the date. Although most family members didn’t  agree with us keeping the date we did.

May you find comfort and support with the love from others that surround you.

The seat was left open where she would have sat. The  wedding was  wonderful and sad at the same time.  Our guest all had a wonderful time starting with a 11:00 am church service, A party where  the last guest to leave was 3:00 am
