It’s that time of year when we honor our mothers. Some have left this earth but never our hearts or our memories.

While listening to James McDonald today, he was sharing about what traits we inherit from our families and Dick and I both had to agree on this. We both could see in each other our mother’s traits in us. I see Gladys in Dick so much and he often calls me Catherine.

Also have to think about what it is like to be an active mother. Holding and nurturing our babies and watching them play; learning to walk; and seeing things for the first time. They are memories that we hold dear about our children. Even as teenagers they never cease to amaze us and sometimes irritate us or make us upset at things they do.  Then it is to watch them marry and raise families of their own. It never ends. Our love for them never ceases no matter what they do in life or where they decide to live. Some close and some far away.  It is truly Love to Last a Lifetime….So Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers everywhere.
