My Mom


We just said goodbye to my mom after just over a week with her in our new home. In some ways I still can't believe she was really here. I know this journey our little family is on is not a journey of our own but one that reaches into the lives and hearts of others. Perhaps most of all, the heart of my mom yet somehow she finds the strength to encourage us through it all. Thank you, mom, for loving us so well. You are a gift. Happy Mother's Day to my amazing Mom who is so patient, kind, gentle, adventurous and encouraging. No matter where I am in the world, you are always right with me because love sticks. It impacts and bears fruit beyond any amount of space in between. 
That being said, it is still so much better when we are together...


Thank you for having the courage to make the trip. We will forever cherish the memories we made and hold on to them until we see you face to face again. We love you and miss you always...
