Happy Mother’s Day

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us;

when adversity takes the place of prosperity;

when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us;

when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.

~Washington Irving

Happy Mother's Day!

"It's the bits and pieces put together year after year that count. Sometimes we don't see meaning in the little things and we are not conscious of how it all works together to create a powerful image. The little things we do at home...putting wildflowers in a vase...an old photograph tucked into a frame, a lullaby each evening by the bedside...are the putty that holds the mosaic together." ~ Ingrid Trobisch
