It takes an act of God to get my mom to visit. Seriously. Some of y'all know the history of indecisiveness, financial instability and fickleness that arises when my mama, in her Texas drawl, utters the words, "I'm coming to visit..." ( She was born and grew up in Lubbock, but resides in Denver and the twang comes out when she is excited or scolding me :-)
So I could not thank God, or the universe if that's your cup of tea, enough for allowing everything to align and come together for her to have visited these past couple of days. Because I love her. And I love her in a deeper, different way now that we share the moniker of Mother. Every moment I get to spend with her, even when in disagreement, brings me much joy and reminds me how much she has sacrificed in giving me life and loving me.
And she doesn't like to be in the photo, but I did catch her in at least one...At her request we took a walk and some pics today in Millennium park.
Watch out Chicago! Peggie is in the city!

| The photographer in me wanted to take Cass into these leaves, but the neat freak in me didn't want her to get muddy right before her dr's appointment. She got a flu shot and rocked it! No tears, no crying, no whining. One shot in the thigh and she was ready for a treat from the treasure box. Maybe we'll go back tomorrow to this little spot. |
