What's your favourite flower Mom?
This is a question we usually know the answer to and act upon it for Mother's day.
My Mom had many 'favourites'. She was one who could appreciate every flower for it's individual beauty. Some were appreciated for their big gorgeous blooms, some for their sweet fragrance, and still others for their quiet but steady presence in the garden. No matter what the outstanding characteristic, each and every flower was Mom's 'favourite', not being able to choose one over another.
As Mother's Day approaches, I recall many special memories of Mom and am comforted by the knowledge that she loved and appreciated all of her children and grandchildren for the individuals we are. As she often told each of us, "you're my favourite"!
Happy Mother's Day to all of our Moms. We celebrate you and thank you for loving us just the way we are.
