I was recharged today. Both my children and my grandchildren together. What a treat. Our daughter-in-law’s mother is also visiting. We got online with her other daughter who lives across the country and was having a reveal party for their first child. It was a boy, I guessed wrong.

Talk about a joyous day. Celebrating Mother’s Day (yes early) but together. And another addition to the growing family of cousins for our grandchildren.

I’m thinking of my own Mom tonight. I look outside at the beauty of the season and remember how much she liked to garden. One of her many talents. I miss that reassuring hand and smile. I miss the encouragement. l miss the dishes she fixed. I miss her smell. And so many other things.

Time with family and friends for me is a key to happiness.
