They have given us so much. We try to find all kinds of ways to give them hugs back (the long kind of hug, the kind that doesn't let go right away), even though they will always remind us that they love us "more."
It's true that celebrating Mother's Day both a joy and a sorrow for those of us who have lost our moms. It was such a joy, so very much fun, to give my mother a gift. Whenever I see special things here or there, I want to give them to her. Perhaps that is because she had such beautiful style. Perhaps more, it is because she welcomed every gift by making the giver feel special. She turned the receiving into the giving! In that way we always knew that just simple the act of doing for her was the gift, and the thing being gifted just a channel of love, shared.
