Mother's Day
As I am writing this on Sunday evening, it is still Mother's Day. This special day always brings back thoughts and memories of both my parents because they were the most in-love and special couple I have ever known. Dad always tried to make Mother's Day special for his bride, but even more than that he made every day special for her. He would often find a flower, or some interesting thing in nature and take it to her - just because.
Hardly a day passes that I don't think about them and wish I could share an experience or tell them what their grands and greats are doing. This coming Tuesday would have been my dad's 93rd birthday. I am so grateful for their example and love, especially on this day. It is from them that I got my strength and ability to love and forgive. It is from them that I learned the importance of family and the value of giving. It is from them I learned to trust and have faith.
Thank you Mom and Dad, and Happy Mother's Day.
And without my family, I would not be celebrating Mother's Day. Thank you John and Christy for blessing my life and being the most amazing kids and parents a parent could ask for.
Photography
My granddaughter became a teenager this week. Oh my goodness, another one. Actually, I have fewer grands who are not teenagers than are. I sure am glad I'm not getting older.
For Savannah's birthday, I treated her to a photo session on the opposite end of my camera lens. When she came in from school on that important day, we went outside and I have to tell you, I had a ball. She is so photogenic as you will see, and in spite of my inexperience, we got some really good shots.
Friendship
My littlest granddaughter, Ava Grace and her two friends are the cutest little things you have ever seen. They bonded when they were still in diapers. It is the sweetest thing how they absolutely adore each other. They are 5 years old now and the friendship just becomes more precious. I'm sure as they grow and start Kindergarten next year, there may be changes, but I think there will always be something very special between these three precious little girls.
They started dance together
And performed together
Queens for Queen Day at School
Birthday Chums
Christmas Cuties
Soccer Buddies
Be Silly Girls together
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all love so unconditionally?
Thank you Carissa for giving us Miscellany Monday.

get your ex back with a love spell that works fast.
ReplyDeleteDr.Jumba has helped thousands of women get their Ex boyfriends back using his real effective love Spell. After my boyfriend of one year broke up with me, I could barely speak without crying. I felt blindsided and didn't know what to do. I didn't know if I could get him back and the anxiety was unbearable. I needed him back desperately because I loved him so much. So I contacted this great spell caster for help. He helped me cast a return love spell on him and just within 11 hours my boyfriend came back to me crying and begging for my forgiveness. Dr. Jumba released him to know how much I loved and wanted him. And He also opened his eyes to picture how much love we have shared together. As I am writing this testimony right now I am the happiest woman on earth. I want to recommend this great spell caster to anyone that truly needs an urgent solution to a love break up. Email him at wiccalovespelltools@yahoo.com or Call/WhatsApp him: +19085174108 "I'm so grateful and can say that if you have been broken up with and want to get that person back, Dr.Jumba is the best! I'll never forget how much he helped me
