My mom is wonderful. I wasn’t the easiest child to raise. With the exception of getting arrested or coming home pregnant, I pretty much misbehaved in every way possible and then some. But she loved me through it all, she never gave up on me, just kept on being there when I needed her.
When I had kids of my own, I finally realized how wonderful she is and how much wisdom she has to share. I came to rely on her for guidance when things got difficult with my kids.
Mom is older now but she is still as full of life and adventure as ever. She is on the go a lot, I’m sure her social calender is much fuller than mine! She is active, eats well, and is so healthy, she is on no medications. Rick says she is our role model of how to grow old with grace and fun.
Mom has visited us here often over the last 11 years. She has come to help out when we’ve needed her and she’s come just to have fun. Last time she was here, we made her a new quilt together. And seeing how she was instrumental in encouraging my enthusiasm for sewing, how appropriate.
I am grateful for every day that she is still in my life.
Mom, you are the best and I love you so much. Happy Mother’s Day!

Maggi is wonderful! She has always been like a 2nd Mom to me. I love those pictures – Maggi is truly beautiful inside and out. Happy Mother’s Day to you and your Mom (belated though it may be).
You are so flattering. Now I will have to watch my P’s & Q’s and try to behave.
