Mother's Day 2017

Dear Mom,

All through my life you were a steadfast anchor for me. Knowing I could pick up the phone and hear your voice on the other end was a reassurance that I am now trying to adjust to living without.

You have returned to the place from which we both came. Your 96 year old body was released back to the light last summer.

Your last words to me were “Go in peace, Glenda."
This is the first Mother’s day that I will not hear your voice and be able to speak my gratitude to you for bringing me into this world.

You and I are no longer traveling this planet together in our physical bodies and it is still hard to wrap my brain around this. I miss you so very much.

Without your physical presence, I continue to learn how to "go in peace" as I mother myself in better ways: to befriend my vulnerable and adventurous creative inner toddler, my sometimes bold and often hesitant 8 year old, my rebellious searching teenager, and now the grown woman settling into her "Third Act" and navigating her way though the maze of losses and grief.

My wise woman now sees you, mom in that circle of sages and ancestors that stand behind me offering reassurance that I am not alone in this mystery of life. They send me flashes of insight through images and whispers that inspire me to "keep on keeping on."

"You can do this!”.

So on this Mother’s Day, I thank you for your steadfast commitment to integrity, your faithful spiritual foundation, your pragmatic perseverance and validation of my spirit and that of countless others. You were a creative, humble, loving, wise mother, foster mother, grandmother and great grandmother.

Thank you dear mom for blessing me with your presence the first 63 years of my life.

As I soon turn sixty four this year, I am comforted and challenged to remember that your spirit lives on in me, and my 3 sisters, as well as your grandchildren and great grandchildren…

May this Mother’s Day reignite within all of us;
a commitment to mothering -not just mothering others but also mothering the child within us. For it is in this presence with ourselves that we are most able to tap into our unique creative gifts.

“To love someone is to learn the song in their heart and sing it back to them when they have forgotten."

I invite you to come sit in your own lap and hear the song that is waiting to be sung through you.

Perhaps this is the best Mother's Day gift we can give ourselves--to learn the song in our heart and sing it back to ourselves so it is never forgotten.
