Happy Mother's Day! (To all the special Moms!)

 

Happy Mother’s Day! Mom!

(“My Little Margie” - Mother)

 

Thanks for all you’ve done for us throughout our lives. None of us would have made it without you. We are well aware of your contributions and appreciate the help that came so often in so many ways. Your Christian-generosity to everyone is exemplary. I learned a lot from you.

You even looked like the lady (Gale Storm) in the “My Little Margie” TV show and her father was played by actor Charles Farrell. I had the prettiest Mom of all.

As a child, I looked up to you, believed everything you said, learned truth and worthwhile values. You kept us well-fed, clean, safe and saw to it that we had a good religious foundation. You could cook better than anybody and kept a spotless home. How you did it all with such ease and expertise, I’ll never understand; but, be sure that I truly am grateful for everything.

No complaints as you chauffeured us to countless ball games, ice skating, swimming, school, church, birthdays, the farm and more than I can mention. You were a better Mom than I was a son, but I really did try; I should have tried a lot harder. I was blessed with great parents and family; I still am.

I loved our trips to Tennessee. Fox Lake was a great place. You always had time for everyone and never demanded anything for yourself. You are one of the most selfless people I ever knew. Amazing how you got along without a car until I turned sixteen and then, suddenly you just had to have one. I know it was for me. You bought two boxes of chocolate covered cherries one Christmas, brought them to me at school in seventh grade so I could give them to two girls I liked. Wow!

They say boys marry girls like their mother. I surely did. Lady Candy allows that you never had anything unkind or uncharitable to say about anybody; that attitude values all lives. There are a lot of good people, surely some saints, and, I’ve even managed to find a few “real”-angels.

Yeah! I was always chasing rainbows, touched a few and even caught the tail of one or two; they’re so beautiful. You’ll always find me somewhere south of the high-noon sun and a bit west of that romantic-fantasy alabaster-pale full moon-dream galloping across a diamond-strewn heaven-abyss on a silver-white mythical winged-unicorn! I reckon that’s sure enough true! Amen!

Thanks for everything. I learned to enjoy a great life full of adventure and I have lived it well. Every day is a party, a series of exciting events. Awesome! Life is for---Living…and Loving!!!

 

Good-enough is “almost” effort

Better initiates entrepreneurial-ambition

Best reigns the Independent-Individual supreme

 

Live! Love! Laugh! Focus-contemplate!

Vigilant-be! No one’s future is ever late!

 

Faith! Family! Freedom! Might just be all there really---Is!

In one eternal-instant the only mercy-blessing will be…His!

Amen!

 

Happy Mother’s Day!  Mom!

We love you! Carl and Candy (5-13-2018)
