On this Mother’s Day, I find myself thinking about my two favorite ladies, my mama and my grandmother. Their love and warmth guided me and created the gentle paths I often travel, and even today, I feel their presence at every step.
They made my world a better place and filled my days with so much laughter and sweet joy; they turned ordinary days into something magical and precious. And even now, I find myself missing them in the quiet moments, when memories flood, and I smile, so thankful and blessed to have had them in my life.
In the past, Mama always wanted the three of us to take a family photo. We kept promising that we would have more time, another visit, another holiday, another chance to gather for that family picture. But time slipped by too quickly, unnoticed, gone before we had our chance.
So, to honor my mother’s request, I gathered two cherished photos of my favorite girls from the seventies, and I found one of me from high school. I went to Chtagpt and requested a watercolor of the three of us together. When the picture emerged, it took my breath away. Seeing the three of us side by side, even in a picture that never quite happened, felt like a wonderful gift from my past. I will always adore this little treasure.
Happy Mother’s Day, you two!
You are always in my heart, forever loved, forever missed, and forever the best part of me.
