Today was Mother's Day. Just like a birthday, it only comes once a year. I think we should celebrate Mothers at least once a month. Not for the flowers, cards and "goodies" we might get - but for remembering that Mothers are very precious people. You only have one and once she is gone you miss her until the day you die.
It does not matter whether you are a mother, grandmother, mother-in-law they are all special in their own way. Remembering them is a duty of every child - even if you are having problems in your relationships. If nothing else, a short telephone call just to say: Happy Mother's Day! How are you? I'm fine and then you are done. But those few words make a difference to any Mother.
These are my special roses for Mother's Day. I haven't seen this type in years!!! They are peachy on the outside and when they open up the petals are red and they curl outward.
They are absolutely the most beautiful roses I have received in a long time. This time there are 24 of them - 2 dozen!!! I can hardly wait for them to open up and when they do, I'll take more pictures to show them off.
Of all things, Michael put a picture of me next to the flowers - my how young I was. That was one of the first pictures of me after I arrived in Canada, more years ago than I care to remember.

Everyone telephoned and wished a happy day and what else would a Mother want? To hear from the children and to know that they remembered. I hope that their children will never forget how special Mothers are.
I hope you all had a day to remember your own Mom, or heard from your children and of course, you might even had the chance to get a few hugs here and there. Hugs are the best - always.
Until next time,
Lots of hugs,
