I too looked with love at my picture of Mother next to my bed when I made my bed this morning. Please read Martha's words...she said it so beautifully and with such great pictures...I just sat here and wept and smiled thinking of what a great mother we had. She was truly exceptional. It is so hard to have in-laws and grandchildren that have not had the privilege yet of knowing her...although the grandchildren may have known her in the preexistence...

Everytime I rock in that rocker, I think of her rocking me in the Berkeley house and looking over the SF bay area at all the lights. I think of her very scratchy voice singing anyway and the love that I felt when she did....

Everything I have done right as a Mother is probably due to her example.

I am also so proud of all the other mother's in our family...what great mothers my grandchildren have! I hope all you guys are spoiling them rotten today!

I love you all,

Barb
