Angel

In the Caravan on our way home from my mother's house with a load of tired and cranky boys! We had a wonderful weekend with family and friends. It was so much fun but the boys hit the point tonight where we knew it was time to head home. Actually it was right after I spyed my mother's husband heading to the garage with a bottle of wine!! I know exactly how he feels..lol 

This morning my 3 stepsisters came to plant something new on their mother's grave. Ten years ago yesterday they lost their angel and every year without fail they go with their dad and plant something new. Beautiful really, today I was asked to come along. I stood back and watched as they carefully washed her stone, rearranged things others have left and started digging a new hole for a beautiful bush we bought on the way. They hudled around for a few minutes very quietly then each one of them kissed their hands and placed them carefully on her head stone. Very touching to see them holding close to each other..each one still grieving but living their lives the best they can, wishing every day she was here to see their children or just sit and listen to their everyday problems. 

How many times do we take this for granted, never taking the time to see all the things our mothers do for us each day. Even when it just means you can pick up the phone and have a quick chat or talk over the things you did that week, we are blessed and I hope my mom knows that I am so thankful she is here to hug and say I love you! 

I know its not Mother's Day but take a few minutes and let your mother know how you feel, make sure it doesn't go unspoken.

I love you girls, you are an amazing inspiration!
