Mother's Day

Such a beautiful song I'm hoping to sing on Sunday. Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-Z9sXqr44s - A Mother's Love.

Mom was here for 12 days, probably her last time flying across the country. She was so tired from the trip - she barely recovered before she had to make the return trip. It does get harder and harder as we grow older - I'm feeling it myself. I feel less and less inclined to leave my home here in Arizona. I have a great part time job leading the music team at Unity Spiritual Center in Sun City. Mom joined our choir for the Easter services this year. It was a lovely day.

Wishing all mothers a peace-filled day of contentment. You have done the very best you could to make sure our needs were met as youngsters and teenagers. I'm sure it was really hard - and much of the reason I chose not to have children. Being the oldest of 6, I was Mommy's helper starting at age 8, and sometimes feel like my younger siblings are more like my own kids until I left home at 18. Then my late sister, Candace, took over when Mom became a single mother in a brand new state.

Mom, I honor your life and all you did to keep us all safe. I am here to help you whenever you need me. Just call and I'll be there.
