We've had such a marvelous response to this week's Mother's Day video that we're going to keep running it through Sunday. So instead of a new video, here's a Mother's Day blog for the week-end. Hope it encourages you to make some unique memories this Sunday!
I have lots of photographs of my mother and father at different times in their lives. I have furniture and books they left behind. But it's the notations in the books that are precious to me. It's the scratch on the table and the memory of the dropped hammer that made the scratch that I love more than the table itself.

I find that little things that I might otherwise not notice this week are reminding me of my mother just because we're getting close to Mother's Day. "Keep on keepin' on" are the words of encouragement my mother would say to me whenever I needed a pep talk. I hadn't heard anyone say that in years, and suddenly I've heard it twice recently. I find myself humming a favorite song of hers. I see a dress in the window of a vintage clothing store and I could swear it's a copy of one she used to wear.
