Your mom was and is amazing! Just based on what you've shared about her from time to time, she set the bar pretty high for the rest of us moms.

My mom also made those beer can hats. My siblings and I have been reminiscing about how mom managed to do everything. It was just the way it was. We appreciate it so much more now that we are grown.

Thank you for this - it really hit home for me. And I love your mother’s outfit, that embroidered skirt is a beauty. Lucky you, to have such a talented and caring mother.

I’m packing items in my library office for an upcoming move, holding some sentimental items that belonged to my mom. Took a break, sipped a Diet Coke, and found your email. Hit play, and marveled at the subject and timing. We pack away these vestiges of the past, and one day open the box to a flood of memories. Thanks for your beautiful reflections.
