Dear Mom,
Today is Mother’s Day and I hope you had a very happy day. You’ve been getting Mother’s Day wishes for over 50 years and you know how much I love and appreciate you for all that you did for me when I was growing up and over the years while I was growing my own family.
What you may not know is how much you inspire me today! Every day! I love to tell people about you and how many good things you do and how you are still evolving. While I see some older people declining physically, stagnating emotionally, mentally and spiritually, that is not at all the case with you. You are physically strong and active. You are challenging yourself to become better in every way and it shows and that is why you are an inspiration to me. I am a bit frustrated with the language as I write this because I just don’t know how to put on paper the feeling that I have in my heart for you.
I am happy when you drop by on Wednesdays after working at the church. I enjoy hearing your stories about your work helping grieving families navigate through the planning for ceremonies for departed loved ones. I feel blessed by the delicious organic greens, fruits and vegetables that you bring me from your own bountiful gardens. I appreciate your observations of nature and your stories of love and caring for all the people in the family and community. I think I am one of the luckiest kids ever!
I am happy to reflect on these things and to have the opportunity to tell you just a fraction of the ways that you are important to me.
With lots of love,
Sue
