Mother's Day 2015

Happy Mother's Day!

To all those wonderful mothers who give their love unconditionally whether with us or watching over us as Guardian Angels we salute these special ladies.

This whole weekend was so perfect it is hard to put it in words.  Sharing time with our grandson, his mom, dad and brothers at Prom, spending time with our niece and her family at the zoo and today spending time with our son and his family at his home had to be one of the best Mother's Day weekends ever.

So today my grateful journal is about being grateful for our family.

No matter what we do.  No matter how often we have our little  quarrels; we are FAMILY and I am so grateful for the closeness we continue to have.  It isn't that we see each other often because it is very difficult to do with busy lives and growing families. So remember it's more about quality time not quantity that matters. Make good memories and cherish each hour, minute and second you get to spend with family.  It is a true Gift!
