Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over.
~George Cooper
Today my Mom would have been 86 years old. She has been gone now for almost twenty years. There are a million things that I wish I could tell her, and a million things that I wish she could share with me. She found such joy in the simple things like tending her garden and flowers. At times I feel her beside me when I hear the birds sing, or smell a rose in my yard. She loved nature and animals, and that was her greatest gift to me.
