We just now got home from visiting Mom. We also got to visit the locals...two sisters, one brother, and Beach Boy and his family. Another brother and sister-in-law with duel citizenship (the coast and Madison) were down to visit, too.
So, lots of family hugging and loving.
We have done a Christmas trip to be with Mom several times since Dad died 5 years ago. Mom tells me with real emotion how deeply she appreciates us traveling to be with her at Christmastime. I believe her. It does my heart good. To do it. And. To hear it.
I look in her eyes and see my past. And. I see my future.
She is how I will look. If I live long enough.
As long as she lives I hope to repeat this trip.
Time after time.
