Unfortunately, Mothers Day just reminds me that my mom is gone. But to those who ARE mothers, may you receive flowers and love!

Thank you so much for sharing these. Even though my mother and I are very different people and despite a painful personality flaw, I still owe much of what I am to the good things she embued in me -- and have worked like heck to overcome the other.
Hope you have a lovely day enjoying your mom's company.
Happy Mother's Day to All!
Turner Classic Movies has certainly been doing its best to commemorate the occasion beautifully.
Sometimes good things can happen -- even on television.
Thanks for all the beautiful pictures, Z. They help.

The kiss of the sun for pardon
The song of the birds for mirth
You're nearer God's heart in a garden
Than anywhere else on earth.
