My Mother’s Christmas Bouquet

My Mother's Christmas decor

This is courage. This is faith. This is love.

This is my mom.

To continue being true to life even when

it isn't what you wish were true.

My mother's example never fails.

God, how did I get so lucky to

have this woman as my mother?

How did I not understand her gift when I was young?

How does a mother watch her child suffer

and still

celebrate faith, love, life, and show up?

I am in awe of her, utter awe.
