A special “edition” of R5F this week in honor of Mother’s Day.
1.) The reason I celebrate the holiday:
“Call your mother. Tell her you love her. Remember, you’re the only person who knows what her heart sounds like from the inside.” ~Rachel Wolchin
2.) Tuesday was the 20th anniversary of my mom’s death. Losing her just a few days before Mother’s Day was especially painful. But, with time, the good memories outweigh the sadness.
“The death of a mother is the first sorrow wept without her”. Unknown
3.) Stretching the Mother’s Day theme with this picture, but she IS a mom, caring for her five little ones. Papa was just out of the shot.
How beautifully everything is arranged by Nature; as soon as a child enters the world, it finds a mother ready to take care of it. ~Jules Michelet
4.) To celebrate Mother’s Day Sunday, our plans include breakfast with Marshall and lunch with Motor Man’s mom and sisters.
” You count the hours you could have spent with your mother, it’s a lifetime in itself.” Mitch Albom
5.) And you know that I’ll have the camera ready for mother/son pictures.
A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest. ~Irish Proverb
If you still have your mom, I hope you get to spend time with her (or talk with her on the phone) Sunday. If she’s no longer with you, I know your memories of her will be part of your day.
