“Mother’s Day” won’t be officially celebrated until next Sunday here in Uruguay. But I’ve been enjoying all the pictures and
posts on fb.
So I’ll start this week with a story of my Mommy’s love:
DJ loves to use
the bath towel my mom made for friends of our family up in OH as a gift for their
first baby. She loved making these for others; she was Dorcas in the 20th Century.
And I’ll be
forever grateful to this dear friend who kept it all these years – through two
boys (now men!) who loved it and worked to share it – and gave it back to me for my Little
People! (Thank-you, Cindy, for such amazing thoughtfulness!)
One day last week after
showering DJ, I wrapped him in the towel and sat him on my lap – like he loves!
(We call it: “A hug from Grandma who’s already in heaven!”)
And I got to
reminiscing about my Mommy...
“She would love
you so much...”
“She would be so proud of you and of the fact that you look like
Daddy...”
“And of the things you say and do...”
I miss my Mommy so
very much – and at the most random moments! But I was feeling especially
nostalgic right then. The tears were dangerously close to the surface...
And then DJ said
(in that frank and open way of his): “No one loves like you do, Mommy.”
