Memorial Day

     Hi everybody, Hope this has been a great weekend with family and friends the Veteran Parades are awesome.
     I was watching a softball game earlier that injured veterans were playing, it was unreal how well they played and their determination!
     God Bless these people God has given us and what they have done for our Country.
     If we had their love and determination for our country, I'm sure it would be a better place.
    
     Thank God for the Military and Veterans,Wishing all of them and their families the very best!

     God Bless the USA!

Remembering Mother's On Their Special "Mother's" Day

     Hello everyone and Happy Mother's Day to all the Mother's in the world. Mother's Day is a Glorious Day for most Mother's...but for some it can be heartbreaking. Remember when? Mother's were loved and respected regardless of their faults or mistakes, children would take the time to spend the day with their Mother. No expensive gifts were needed, maybe a card or a Mom I Love You. The gift was love and a few minutes of their time.
    Things seemed to have changed through the years, kids are busy with their own lives and don't always take the time to phone or buy a card for their Mother.
   I'm not really sure why they don't think its important, but it brings back memories of my Mother, who passed away 40 years go from injuries recieved in a car accident. We had our ups and downs through the years and didn't agree on a lot of things. There were times when I wasn't sure whether she loved me or not, because our lives were so difficult while I was growing up.
   Now that I'm older and have thought about our lives over an over. I know my Mom loved me, she had to much on her plate with all the problems going on in her life to be able to deal with it all.
    My point being in this writing is, my Mom suffered for almost three years from her injuries and my step-dad was killed in the wreck by a drunk driver.
    My sister and I did everything we could for her and that is where the love comes in, we all knew there was love between us, but the night my Mom passed away I was at the hospital and never told her I Loved Her before I left!
    It was one of the biggest mistakes of my life, I carried around the guilt of that for years until I finally forgave myself.

   So please kids, take time for your Mom this Mother's Day, it will mean the world to her and to you.
   Your Memories will be your greatest blessing.

Happy Mother's Day to all the great Mom's, Aunt's and Grandma's everywhere.

God Bless and have a great day,

Elaine
