AMEN!!! I think the majority of us could write this about our moms. I know I could. Matter of fact, I think I'll contact her right now and say thank you. Good luck with the contest.

A gift is welcoming friends and family into you home at any hour, (your home)

    Thanks Barbara, and keep in touch with your mom for as long as you can - they truly are special people. And thanks for the heads up on 'you/your', will make that correction. Have a grand day!

This is a very beautiful and very well written post you have penned about all the fun that was had. It sounds like your mother was a wonderful woman that loved all people. That was a big blessing. You used great descriptive words and beautiful imagery of the red roses! Best wishes in the contest! Teri

This was such a lovely tribute to your mother. She definitely sounds like the biggest gift in your life. Now you get to enjoy the other gift she gave you; all the memories with her that you can relive anytime you want. Good luck in the Nonfiction Writing Contest. Thanks for sharing.

My parents were true gifts to me, and I broke their hearts at every turn, till I met God's Gift for us, His Life. This has nothing to do with your wonderful words, but, speaking of those whipped cream fights, I was a participant in 1980 at the World's Biggest Pie Throwing Contest in Hollywood, and it was featured on TV!
