I haven't had my mom for over 30 years, but my special mom, pictured here, is the aunt who helped raise me and who I went to whenever I was hurting or just needed some hugs and love. My Aunt Ethel, being celebrated by one of her daughters. A very loving and caring daughter I should add.
Today just seemed to be the day I started a new year with my focus on all my blessings and those that I had for just a little while but were blessings none the less. Everything we go through, good and bad, helps us to grow. In wisdom, in love, and with a deeper understanding of how real life is.
So today I count my blessing and honor you my sweet Auntie. You have been my anchor and you have helped shape who I am today. Because of you I have always had a constant in my life. Your love has been there for me through most of my storms and also in my happiness. I love you very much and have always known that you love me.
Hugs from your niece. The one who sang all her wants to you and you had to sing back to me in turn. I smile when I remember that and those special chocolate birthday cakes you made for me with the boiled icing, like eating melted marshmallows. You are the best aunt anyone could wish for. Happy Mother's Day. You have my heart and each day you are in my life is a special gift which I cherish.
I hope those of you who still have your Mom will tell her how you feel about her before it's too late. It's far better to speak your words of thanks and love now rather than hold them in and live with regret. I'm so thankful I showed my love for my mom and don't have to live with that hurt and guilt in my heart like so many I know.
All you moms out there, enjoy your special day. Today you are Queen!
Hugs
Thank you, for the memory and the picture
