Those tea-time talks brought you closer together and I can feel your love for her in your beautifully written poem. My Mom has been gone for 30 years now, but we did have a lot of similar talks, mostly when we went walking. She didn't drive, so we walked everywhere. In her honor, I have begonias planted in my front yard. Those were her favorites. I know you'll be missing your mother tomorrow (Mothers' Day), but these memories will be with you the rest of your life. Cherish them, dear. <br />Love and blessings,<br />CarolynAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10955381918758611801noreply@blogger.com
