Another Mother's Day without Mom. I guess I could look at it that way. The thing is, when I think about it, Mom is still with all of us. She's here in the way my sister smiles. She's here by the caring people that she and Dad have created. She's here in the legacy of unconditional love that she surrounded our family with for most of our lives.
Though Mom is not physically with us, she will always be spiritually with us. I remember that every time I pick up a rosary to pray, every time I enter a church to worship, and every time I go to a family gathering and marvel at the amazing diversity of people and personalities that she and Dad have fostered and nurtured.
Are we perfect? Not by a long shot. Are we a reflection of the wonderful and amazing woman that gave us life, yeah, we are. She will always be a blessing and an influence in my life. Happy Mother's Day, Mom. I love you!
