Happy Mother's Day

I'm off to go hiking with my husband this morning, but wanted to do a quick post wishing some very special women in my life a Happy Mother's Day. My mom, in the picture above with me and my sister (edited to add:  I was halfway up the mountain on our hike when this grammatical error came to mind - I should have said, "in the picture above with my sister and me") on our trip to Europe last summer. My sister is going through a very hard time as a mom - her second son is battling cancer. What a heartache for a mother.

My mother-in-law and sister-in-law, both wonderful women, and wonderful mothers. I am blessed to have these women in my life.

    Happy Mother's Day to you, Lorrie...and to your mom and sister as well. My heart goes out to your sis...as she deals with her son's illness.

    I hope you had a great hike, Lorrie, and a happy mothers' day. I feel for your sister - what a hard time for her and for all of your family.

    LOL I wake up at night and think of grammatical errors on my blog! Glad I'm not alone!

Thank you for your comment. I read and value each one, cherishing the connections we can make although far apart. Usually, I visit your blog in return, although if you ask a question I try to contact you directly.
