Mother's Day Card |

Carefully, in my best writing (penmanship counts) and on a beautiful card, I wrote a message to my Mother on her day. I expressed my love and I thanked her for her love and her unconditional support. After sealing the envelope with a kiss, I lit it with a match in the woodstove, watching the flames dance as the smoke carried my message to Mom into the clouds. I love you, Mom. ~ Your Ali [This message has been edited by Alison (05-12-2013 08:32 PM).] |

Ahhhhhhh . . . Wonderful. You got me. Very sensitive and heart-warming. ~*~ I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. I can't put it down. ~*~ |

absolutely lovely! I've now lost almost everyone that I ever cared about ... always difficult ... particularly on certain days and holidays |

I have one card from my mother that I keep near to me...I've written of it before. That is my earthly keepsake. But like you, I've sent many thoughts to the clouds and above... I remember...all of the effort in childhood gifts...and I have no artistic talent whatsoever. But tonight, as I was thinking of her, I realized that when I listened to her, minded her words, gave her deference - that was when she was honored most. Mother's Day...is a special day...as are other holidays...but when you give a parent deference... that...is when they know you care. Love you, my girl. |

I followed your love ritual with my eyes and with my heart, dear Alison, and I was deeply moved as you gracefully sent your message heavenwards. A most beautiful way to consciously connect with your beloved Mom. Love and hugs. Margherita |

Such a beautiful idea... and such a beautiful love. Like a kiss blown across the room, I can't help thinking she caught her card and held it to her heart. |
