Loving Words and Flowers For Mother’s Day

Weekend – Part II

 

The way we were – 1975 – Diane, Jere, Deb, Me, Cerwin, Jeff

Being a mother to Jeff, Diane, Jere, and Deb has been one of the most exhilarating, challenging, and rewarding responsibilities of my life. 

 

 

Cerwin almost always brings me a bouquet of flowers for Mother’s Day.

 

 

I am honored to be the mother of his children.

 

 

 Thank you – they are beautiful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next gift to arrive came with the mail on Friday – a singing card.

 

 

Then a few hours later I received this box from UPS.

 

 

I had never received flowers like this, so I was anxious to see what was inside and who sent them. 

 

 

 

The roses and card were from our youngest daughter, Deb.

 

 

Thanks Deb, they are beautiful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Saturday morning this hanging planter of Cherry Cream Impatiens was delivered by our youngest son, Jere.

 

 

 Thanks, Jere, I will plant them in the patio flower bed, right outside our kitchen window so I can see them all summer.  I’d love to keep it as a hanging flower, but I forget to water them and am away so much that it would die before many weeks.

 

 

 About an hour later this pretty Cupido Rose was given to me by our oldest son, Jeff.

 

 

 Thanks Jeff.  This rose will be planted in the patio flower garden as well so I can keep an eye on its pretty yellow flowers, along with the other miniature rose bushes you gave me the past several years.

 

 

 Diane, our oldest daughter, gave me the final gift (on Sunday evening) with a wonderful phone call from Maine.

 

 

 Thanks, Diane.  It is always a treasure to hear your voice and catch up on your life

 

 

I am a mother who is blessed indeed.
