HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

To all the beautiful, courageous mothers in my life.

You are all a true inspiration to me and to us all.

This morning I awoke to the smell of coffee and bacon. I know, not the most cancer friendly diet, but all things in moderation... right? Besides, the Maitake mushroom in the omelets should counter-act the bacon. :-)

Mark was up early cooking for me and Sarah. She has already come and gone, but not before we enjoyed a gourmet breakfast courtesy of chef Mark, and spending time in the rose garden to pick a bouquet for her to enjoy and share at work today. After all, she is a mom-to-be now.
 
Very soon now, Alura and Stephan arrive for a visit and early dinner. I am truly blessed to be able to share this day with my soul mate and two lovely daughters, who are both about to become mothers themselves and learn what this thing is all about... The joy, the tears, the love, the sweetness, the sleeplessness... all of it. And all this along with my journey of health, war, and survivorship.

Sarah & I picked roses for her work.

Alura & Stephan here for the afternoon and dinner.

Alura seemed very pleased with dessert; homemade strawberry shortcake which reminds me of my mother, who is sorely missed.

I am truly blessed and loved, and thank you for traveling this journey with me. May you have the most lovely Mother's Day.
