My mother always wanted to be a writer. One of her first jobs as a teenager was working for a published writer. She would proofread his work, type his drafts and prepare for publication. Mother was always good with the written word.
One thing she liked to write was poetry. Several years before her death, I surprised her with a gift on Mother's Day ... a hard bound book filled with the poetry she had written over the years. She often wrote poems about family, friends, and life's events. So her poetry was illustrated with the pictures of family and friends that she had written about. That Mother's Day was one of the best I ever celebrated with my mother. Love you, Mom! Hope you have a Happy Heavenly Mother's Day
