To my beloved mother, who no longer has any idea of who I am, what a daughter or son is, and why my voice is coming through something that is held up to her ear.
I know in my heart of hearts that she still can feel my love...no matter where either of us is, or what state of being we are in. Love you my dear little mama!
And your oldest son, my oldest of four younger brothers, is 'all better' now and heading home, again. I could always, always feel your heart and your thoughts, mom.... and you told me when you still could ....to 'take care of your father, take care of your brothers, and take care of me when I no longer can take care of myself."
I did it all, mom, and I always will. Love you SO, SO, much and someday, I will hold your hand once again, and maybe , just maybe you will know who I am. Until then, I know YOU and I remember it all for you...just like I promised.
hugs, hugs, hugs...
my brother, Doug,( the 'praying for a miracle man' ) my mother Nell Grace Peltier (Pelletier) Savikko and myself..in one of the many starched pinafores she always dressed me in ;)

You are so right...she feels your love. You are a good and loving daughter. I'm sure she feels that.
Sweet picture. I remember pinafores like that. Hope your day is good.
Wishing you a fabulous Mother's Day. You are a terrific Mom to many -not just your children but to all those wonderful children that you have helped over the years to learn how to do what ever you were teaching them...
Your mother may not be seem aware or connected to this world but she feels your love each time you find a way to interact with her- The world is truly richer for you...
Sending you a big cyber hug,
Anna
Oh Michele, I just want to give you and your Mum a huge hug. You are blessed to have each other, and I'm certain your Mum appreciates your tender care, even though she can't respond. xxx
