I often think of you
when my roses are in bloom
as I tend my flower beds
if I smell mimosa
when I see magnolias in bloom
I often think of you
when I make a recipe you taught me
if I have your favorite foods
as I use a favorite saying of yours
when I wish I could talk to you
I often think of you
when I eat a fresh tomato sandwich
as I listen to a song you loved
if I see a beautiful arrangement of silk flowers
as the Christmas lights twinkle and shine
I often think of you
when I realize how hard it is to be a parent
as the spring brings new flowers
every time I look inside my heart
Miss you mom….

This is wonderful! You so got it! Those little moments doing ordinary things that bring the memories crashing back, poignantly and with full force. This is exactly right! Kudos.
