Mother’s Day 4 Connie

.Connie.

Thank you for providing a home base for me:

I willingly left everything I knew as home.

… You welcomed me in your home as a daughter.

I cautiously spread my wings into a new job.

… You encouraged my independence.

I painfully learned that sometimes love isn’t enough.

… You listened while I cried.

I fearfully tried to start life again.

… You assured me that I was worth it.

…

Unexpectedly, I found someone new,

And you shared my happiness.

Grief-stricken, I mourned the loss of a loved one,

And you understood without questions.

Sleepless and depleted, I sat down at your table

And you guided me.

… That sounds like a mother to me.

Happy Mother’s Day, Connie

Love, Bindy
