It is my mom’s birthday, the second one we have marked since she passed away last year and for her birthday I am going to post March’s tree.  It is not a full blown tree but a few branches. It is a promise of what is coming as the buds begin to swell and burst open.

                My mom was a creature of spring she was born in the spring and loved everything about it. The trees awakening, the anticipation of her hummingbirds returning, the flowers, buttercups, irises, hyacinths and crocuses, all brought her joy and delight. As I reflect on the life my mom lived and the lessons she taught me I can only hope to live my life as unselfishly as she did. Spring has arrived and with it the joy of my mom is reflected. I hope today you too are reminded life is beautiful and live with anticipation.

For My Hero

I watch my mom suffer and fight every day with breast cancer. It is not a pretty fight and often she loses a battle. But through it all she has been our rock and our hero. She watches for me to post here so she can see the world I am seeing and so tonight I am posting this picture for her. She grew up in the country in a simpler time and a slower paced world. This beautiful peaceful place is right in the middle of the bustle of our town right next to the community college but like my mom it endures…………I love you mom, and when you next peek into my world know I can only do this because you believed in that little runt of a baby you brought home from the hospital.Sleep well tonight and believe me we are bringing you home soon!
