Angel Mother

On the one year anniversary of the passing of my beautiful angel Mother, I lit a special candle and placed it next to her picture.

Ten years ago I moved my mother from California to Nevada. She could no longer live on her own. We moved our king size bed and furniture to the guest bedroom; giving her the larger room which overlooked the patio and pool.
These were special years spent with Mom as her health began to fail. She had a beautiful loving spirit, delightful sense of humor and never complained. She was truly an angel mother.

With a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eyes she would sing a little song she had made up about taking all her troubles and just throwing them away. Mom often said it takes more muscles to frown and less to smile and she didn't want to work that hard, so she just smiled.

I remember the day I was going through her things and came across a card with a gold pin attached. It had a heart in the center and wings on either side. The words on the card read, "An Angel's Wings Spring from the Heart. Thank you for all the times you've been there for me with your love and support. You and I both know you've earned your wings. Love & Hugs, Mom"

She always had a smile and kind words for everyone she met. I am at peace and grateful as I reflect on the wonderful and joyous memories we once shared. God blessed me with an angel and I called her Mother.
