Happy Mothers Day to All Who Nurture and Care for Children

Happy Heavenly Mothers Day to my Mom.
I miss her a little more on this day.
I used to call her every day on my way home from work.

I know you’ve seen this photo before, it was the year 2012.
The last Mothers Day we were all together.
That summer our daughters moved away to follow their dream.
And the following winter
my mom died and followed her ultimate dream.


This photo is a favorite.
So much going on...
Every year we posed under the
“pink tree” in our backyard.

Those were the days when I sewed all of our clothes,
so we are wearing handmade dresses/outfits.

Mom and I are wearing orchid corsages
and we were on our way to church.

The girls are wearing anklets
and Emily is holding Grammy’s hand.
Like I said, “so much going on”


Two years ago, I was blessed with the opportunity
to travel Okinawa and spent time with this family.
Amy prepared a Mothers Day Brunch. 
Jack says, Cheers!

We look forward to seeing ALL of them later this summer.

This is the last time we visited my mom
in her Assisted Living Facility.
I showed her what it means to “take a selfie”

Pretty sure that today, she is looking down from heaven
and is pleased with all of us.
She would be especially proud watching her granddaughters,
and the lives they have built for themselves.

Happy Mothers Day, everyone...
especially those of you who are missing their moms
who are in heaven.

Enjoy the time you spend with your
children and grandchildren, whether it’s in person,
or on a FaceTime call. Cherish the precious moments.

Take care,
~Natalie
