Mothers Day...

[s&wchad]

In case you didn't notice, it's today! Still not too late to recognize that special woman in your life.

Mrs. Chad and I don't have any kids, but we've had a dog most of our married life. Close enough! I made her a lovely dinner last night and fixed her breakfast this morning.

I lost my mother to cancer March 22, 1998. She was 82 and on in home hospice. She made my three brothers and I each feel like we were her favorite. I took time off work to care for her, spent nights at her house and drove her to doctors appointments. It was heartbreaking to watch her deteriorate, but I've never regretted a minute I spent. It's been 23 years and I still miss her.

My wife's parents are in their 80's and still going strong. Her mother is a little firecracker and I just adore her. We haven't seen them in over a year because of COVID, but hopefully we'll visit them in Traverse City this summer. I'll phone her later today.

Any of you do something special for Mother's Day?

Well, woke up and discovered that is going to be a WHITE Mothers Day. Gentling snowing away this morning here.

The mother of the house is still asleep

My mom loved flowers, and puttering in any garden she could dig her fingers into, so yesterday we refreshed her grave with a beautiful red rose bush.

Thanks to compressed generations, I knew one of my great grandmothers, and both grandmothers. All of them, plus my mother and stepmother have now all passed on. All of you enjoy the day with the mothers in your lives.

The special thing i could do is to wish my mother and my wife Happy mother's day, those two souls means a lot to me and they are my whole world.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE GREAT MOTHERS

I lost my mother when I was 21. She was only 47. My Dad lived to 91
and never remarried.

M is for the million things she gave me.
O means only that she's growing old.
T is for the tears she shed to save me.
H is for her heart of purest gold.
E is for her eyes with lovelight shining.
R means right and right she will always be.
Put them all together they spell MOTHER. A word that means
the world to me.
