An incredibly brief Mother's Day tribute

I saw this on Facebook today on Mother's Day. It is by an unknown writer:

“Your mother is always with you. She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street. She’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself. She’s the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well. She’s the breath in the air on a cold winter’s day. She is the sound of rain that lulls you to sleep and the colors of a rainbow. She is Christmas morning. Your mother lives inside your laughter. She’s the place you came from, your first home, and she’s the map you follow with every step you take. She’s your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you—not time, not space…not even death.”

 

Your family misses you Mary Martha Griley Leistler--you touched our lives and continue to influence us always. Much love and gratitude for our mother's work.
