Perspective

At this time of year I might miss my mom more than ever. I miss her enthusiasm for the season. I miss the way she decorated her home, how she helped me hunt for the perfect gifts, and her mince meat cookies!!! :)


But, as I think about her I am reminded of my great fortune. I was lucky enough to have this mother who embodied all the virtues of motherhood. She was a strong woman who showed me how to be a loving and caring mother. 

So while I miss her each day, I need to remember that I am beyond blessed to have loved someone so much.
