I'm thankful to the Lord every single day that I can call my mother late in the afternoon or early in the evening and just talk.
Some days she plays Dragon Mahjong while I bash things on Klondike and we murmur about our Covid-crippled days, exchange I love yous, and say good night.
Sometimes we reminisce and I hear stories from before I was born or when I was a baby that I never heard before. Such treasures. Such laughter and joy.
My mother is a person of indomitable spirit, courage, and great joy. She always has soldiered through everything life has thrown at her bravely and brightly...and trust me, she may not ever let you know, but it has thrown a lot.
Although I have been most stubborn about learning...a Montgomery thing, don't cha know....she has taught me much about living a life of grace and thankfulness. I have a lot more to learn and all...and a very great deal to be thankful for...but I am surely working on it.
All of us are daughters and sons; some of us are blessed enough to be old fogies ourselves and yet still have our wonderful mothers.
I want to wish all you mothers a Happy Mother's Day today, but most especially my own because she is so special.
Love you mama, you're the best!
