The Magic of a Mother’s Touch
There’s magic in a Mother’s touch,
and sunshine in her smile.
There’s love in everything she does
to make our lives worthwhile.
We can find both hope and courage
Just by looking in her eyes.
Her laughter is a source of joy,
her works are warm and wise.
There is a kindness and compassion
to be found in her embrace,
and we see the light of heaven
shining from a Mother’s face.

Dear Mom, Wow what journey you and I had.We sure did go through a lot together.I remember when you first held your granddaughter Colleen and when you cut the cord for your grandson John cause Reed was called out to sea.I remember calling you up and you saying "What do you want now" and laughed. The Christmas eve dinners you would make boy how I love those meatpies. I will miss the times we had in the chat rooms with the players we sure did have fun with them. Most of all mom I will miss you but I know you are with Carleen and the rest of the family who have gone to heaven. One day we will meet again until than keep that meatpie warm because when we do meet again boy are we going to have a lot of catching up to do. This is not goodbye but until we see each other again.I love you mom xxxxx
