Your mother is always with you.

They moved the headstone they put on moms feet. The top of her stone is still a little lower, but I'm glad they moved the other stone!

Was looking at Facebook memories and I shared some good ones around mothers day over the years. I thought I'd save them here. Enjoy!

Your mother is always with you. She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street. She’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself. She’s the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well. She’s your breath in the air on a cold winter’s day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow; she is Christmas morning. Your mother lives inside your laughter. She’s the place you came from, your first home, and she’s the map you follow with every step you take. She’s your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you, not time, not space...not even death.

Life is a fragile chain of experiences held together by love.

...the leaving of a pebble on a headstone in the cemetary is a way to errect a small, new tomb-stone to honour the memory of the dead. The pebble also lets others know that someone did come and remember. Symbolically, it suggests the continuing presence of love and memory which are as strong and enduring as a rock. It's a Jewish tradition, but you don't have to be Jewish to leave a stone.
