Birthday Weeks are done

They are over...sadly. I love May and birthday week and the time spent being spoiled by my

family. I always come away feeling the most special and loved mom and gram in the world. Happy Bithday my beautiful girl and boy and thankyou for all the fun.

Goodbye Marie my teacher and friend

She lifts her face to the morning sun, trusting that it will warm her. She raises her arms to the afternoon winds, knowing that they will transport her. She opens her heart to the birds winging across the sky, understanding that they are her sisters. She smiles at her precious daughter who has given her this gift of dieing in her own home; protected in her arms and she surrenders in grace.
