Happy Mother's Day

Once upon a time I was a little girl and I had a mommy who loved me very much. She taught me to finger paint and use scissors. She laughed with me. She tied my shoes for me until I was big enough to do it myself. She taught me it was okay to be different, and that everyone was special in their own way.

She wasn't a domestic goddess. Her house was always coated with dust and dog hair. She didn't like to cook.

She was particularly fond of musical comedy, ice cream, and growing things in her garden.

Today I missed her a lot.
