Was reading on Facebook this morning a letter from a mother to her daughter and it showed a photo of the two together - head to head - leaning together.  It shared all the struggles of growing old and told the daughter to be understanding as the mom's mind and body left her.  Within moments of my reading this tearful letter, I received an email from Larissa - it had the same letter attached to it!  I cried again!!!  Not only did my mind relive those last days of moms, it jumped forward to not that many years ahead and realized my daughters, my son will go through the very same thing!  It may have different circumstances, but the end results are the same ~  I'll be gone.  Just makes me realize more and more that life is fragile and we need to share our love with our family, our friends, our community - share it with strangers!  God's gift to us is this love and He gave it for us to give again and again!!!  Anyway, after reading the letter twice - and crying each time, these are words given to me.  Still not a day goes by that mom isn't a part of my day!  I love you mom!  I love my kids too!!!!


Blessings to all!!!
