Mom's Born Day

So today is Mom's birthday. The day she was born so many years ago. Although she made her transition in 2011, I still make time to celebrate her life. Today I reflected on the principles she taught us. She believed in curiosity and encouraged our asking questions. She was a teacher by trade so she was our window to the world. Mom was a woman of faith who led us to church and our beliefs in Jesus Christ. Her love was strong and her heart was big enough to shelter everyone. Everyone was her friend or wanted to be her friend after they met due to the warmth she exuded through each conversation. Mom measured common sense with tough love. Neighbors knew to bring us home to her if we had questionable behavior. Mom had instant credibility at our schools and was actively involved in our studies. We experimented with recipes and created many memories. I know she's in a better place, but it doesn't stop me from missing her so. How about you? Have you made any new memories this year? What do you reminisce about? How have those memories shaped you? Share your comments below. Thanks for stopping by. Take Care and God Bless!!!
