Mothers ― Kindness that Lasts Forever

"Our mothers give us so many gifts.  They give us the precious gift of life, of course, but they also leave treasured lessons that can guide us along our journeys even when they are no longer with us."
― Maria Shriver

I hope that Mothers' Day has been filled with joy for all the mothers, grandmothers, aunts and friends who share their kindness with all of us.  That kindness stays with us even after they are gone. 

Last night, a very special friend who lost her mother two months ago hosted a dinner in her mother's memory.  Today, the daughter of a dear friend of mine who died a year and a half ago shared a photo of her new baby daughter.  Those mothers may be gone, but their love lives on in their children, their grandchildren and in all those whose lives were touched by their kindness.
