Mom’s Mother’s Day Angel

I miss my mom everyday but especially on Mother’s Day. My mom was the most loving, caring and compassion person to everyone. She was an excellent cake decorator and even made my wedding cake. Mom worked hard and she taught my sisters and me that hard work wouldn’t kill us. We had chores to do without an allowance, it was part of life to help out. My mom loved flowers and when she passed away on January 15, 2000 Rich and I made Mom’s memory garden from some flowers and plant that we received at her funeral. But today we added mom’s mother’s day angel to her garden!

Her garden was filled with roses, azaleas, and jasmine. We planted a small Azalea bush that was about a foot high and today it’s over six feet high and eight feet wide. Through the year mom’s garden was getting over run and in 2019 just before Mother’s Day we re-organized it.

I made a few additions to her garden, one was a wooden cross I made and I embedded a penny in the center that mom had sent down from heaven. I also made a heart shaped plaque from all the pennies I found that were sent down from mom.

This is a blog I posted on Mother’s Day 2019 with a mother’s day poem I wrote for her when we updated her memory garden. http://themarthareview.com/moms-mothers-day-poem/

Today mom’s garden is so beautiful, the rose bushes are loaded with fragrant roses and the petunias are so colorful. But we also have a new addition to mom’s garden, it’s mom’s Mother’s Day Angel.

I have been waiting for this Angel to arrive and it was delivered yesterday, just in time for mom’s Mother’s Day garden addition. She is 47″ tall and so beautiful. Lia was so excited when she saw the new Angel, she helped put her in a special place in Mom’s Memory Garden and placed rose petals around the base of the Angel.

I know mom is smiling down and guiding us along with the Angel. I am smiling too when I see mom’s mother’s day Angel in a special spot in her garden. Happy Mother’s Day mom, we love you and hold all your memories in our hearts.
