Very grateful for

God’s mothering of us

My mother, Miss Peggy, who is home today after a long detour

Cynthia and Maddie who offered selfless, mothering care to my mom while she was at the nursing home and the hospital

My daughter, who claims me as her mother

My dad, who nurtured me like a mother

Anna Jarvis, who began the tradition which became the holiday of Mother’s Day

The Florist Exchange who paid paid all Anna Jarvis’ bills during the last years of her life when she was destitute

Other countries who also celebrate and observe Mother’s Day (Denmark, Italy, Venezuela, Turkey, Australia, and Japan)

All the moms (and dads who nurture just like moms) here at We Love Gratitude

She needn’t be heard…. because she was known. ~Ann Voskamp
