Listening to the sounds of children's laughter down the hall

it's amazing, she thinks, just how fast time flies.

Seems just the other day, she sat and gave her mom a call

it's been five years now, since the day her mother died

The heart holds on to the little things,

values aren’t measured by size

Sorting out, marking each one with love

seeping in the dreams you dare dream at night

Love

    "the dreams you dare to dream" Love it.

  • My wife & I learned long ago that Mother's Day is not simply a day of frivolity, joy & serving mom breakfast in bed. It's a really difficult day for those who are missing their mothers. Even worse for those mothers whose children are gone. What do you do for someone who is a mother with no one left to call her "mom"? Incredibly beautiful & poignant.

    Ah, this one hit hard today. It's my oldest's birthday, and it feels like eons ago yet only yesterday that he was born. Beautiful work on this one, Kelli :)
