Five years ago today, my mother crossed over into eternal life. I cannot help remembering this every April 22 that comes along. Today I decided to do things that reminded me of my mom. The first thing I did was look at the Guardian Angel prayer card image that she always loved. I read the little prayer on the card and then I got up for the day! Later on, I decided to go out for lunch and I invited David with me. I was going to take us to a place where I could get a hamburger and fries (because my mom loved a good hamburger and fries!) but I remembered that it is still Lent and that since it's Friday I cannot eat meat. David and I went to a local cafe and a got a vegetarian grilled sandwich (my mom would have loved that too!). Then we made our way to the local hardware store and I bought two pots to plant flowers in. When I got home, I spent time planting my newly sprouted sunflowers and I also sowed some basil seeds. This reminded me of my Mom's love for gardening! Today, doing things that mimicked her joy for specific things were also my joy and that made me feel closer to her on this sad day.
