Today...


I can't repay the lessons
that you taught when I was small,
or give you gift for gift,
each special moment I recall...


I can't return encouragement
and loving words of praise
in quite the way you did for me
through all my childhood days...


But there's one gift that I can give,
it's all the love you've earned,
for love is what you always taught...


and love is what I learned.



happy birthday, Mama
I miss you...

Hi April,

I loved your tribute to your Mom. I loved the words and the pictures.
