Adventurously

Happy Mother's Day!  To my mom, who was always game for adventure, even when she wasn't sure about it.

Caringly

Today's post is a tribute to mothers and caregiving. 

This image was during the 4 1/2 years that I took care of my mom in my own home.  Before that, I took care of her in her apartment.  And before that, I took care of her in her own home.

The majority of the time it wasn't easy.  There was a roller coaster of highs and lows.  Sometimes more lows than highs.

But through it all, she was my mom and I loved her and she was worth it.

And I still love her and miss her.  But she is "home" and safe and no longer needs caregiving anymore.

More from our Iowa trip in April.  There was no beer or brats being served that day.
