A Mother’s Day Letter from the Past

1 Comment

This post was originally published on May 10, 2020 (Mother’s Day during COVID) and is being re-shared to honor my Mom on this day in 2026.

I found this letter to my Mom in a box of treasures I’ve had for a while…it was a homemade Mother’s Day card from when I was about 22. It made me smile. I’m pretty sure it made her smile, too. She might even be smiling down on me now, from a celestial Mother’s Day celebration with my Dad and brother.

I was tremendously blessed to have you as my Mom, Nancy Joan Harvell, and will remember you throughout my days. It was clear that you absolutely loved being a Mom, as do I.

I’m also so very blessed by my kids, the one child that I bore and the others that grace my life through other ties of love. You know who you are.

And – what I said at the end of my posts during coronavirus (below).

Stay home, stay safe, stay sane and stay in touch.

Today, I’ll just say -blessings to all mothers, who do a very, very important job. And to all children, who make everything worth it.
