This is the first Mothers Day of my seventy-five years when I have no way to visit with or even call my Mother. Just two days before her stroke she posed with the first bloom on these hibiscuses I had planted in her front yard. How she would light up when I walked in. My parents were not perfect, of course, but their love for me and my siblings was unconditional and sure and lit their faces. How I miss my mother.--------------
