Dear Mom

It has been 7 years since your passing, Mother's day once again around the corner. So much has changed and in some ways stayed the same. Same difficulties with some of the same people, still battling myself in areas of my life, and learning what you have always said., " Lesa, some people you just have to keep at arms length".
There are so many things that you taught me, whether or not, you thought I ever did. (SMILE) I have finally learned to be responsible for my actions (ha ha ha, have you fallen on the floor yet?). I have learned to appreciate the simpler things in life, like a day gardening in the yard, not having to be on the go all the time, keeping myself busy. I guess that it because I am truly happy with my life.
Oh, I have questions I had wished I had asked when you were here in the planet about our family, your life as a child and the name of the cat that was raised with Cindi the black cocker spaniel.
Most of all I wish to say, I love you Mom and I miss you very much! Yet, I know that you are in a very wonderful place, a place of peace. That makes my heart like with joy for you.

As I reflect I see that this year will be the first year in 7 that I will have both boys around, what a special gift...the first year friends thought I should be at Rendezvous for Mother's day, that turned out not to be such a great idea on so many different levels. Rendezvous was great, but I wasn't. That next year Christopher was in Georgia or on his way to Iraq, and the years have kind of jumbled together from there.
A special thank you for keep an eye on Christopher from above. Thank you!
It is much to say thanks for and I am lucky enough to have my boys who don't need Mother's day to do something special for their mom...for they say "Mom's should be thanked everyday, not just on "Mother's Day".
The little thank you's that happen everyday, means a lot, not just for me, but to everyone in everyday life.
I love you Mom~
