The Lacaille 8760 Affair:: Day 113

2008.05.11
“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.” --Washington Irving

beautifully abstract.

double purple love.

These flowers I dedicate to my three moms.

First and foremost to my own mother. Now I don't want to get all sappy here, but living 3000 miles away from the one woman on whom you've relied on your whole life, if a difficult feat. I'm a mama's girl through and through. Even though we talk from anywhere between 6 and 30 times a week, it's just not the same as dropping in anytime to say hello, going shopping, getting my hair done, going out to eat, splashing in the pool, playing board games, card games and dice, smelling dinner, decorating cookies, dressing the christmas tree, going to the library, or any of the other thousands of activities we've done together throughout both childhood and adulthood. But. We know we love each other and that keeps us going well enough. Proximity is a luxury but love knows no distance or bounds.

To my other two mothers, Nick's mother Theresa and step-mother Tracy (we call her Crowe), I am eterally greatful for what you have both added to my life. How did I get so lucky to have these three wonderful strong women to guide me and love me?

I can't express enough how these woman have affected me, how every email or phone call warms my soul; how every comment on my pictures or my stories makes me feel loved and important. I can't wait to spend time with each of you when I come home in June.

I love you mom.

Love and hugs to all three of you.

And a Happy Mother's Day to the rest of you mom's and mum's out there ~_^


cheers.

ncshutterbug What a beautiful post, Bree. The colors of the photos (love the bouganveilla), and even more so, the love in your words. Very touching. Now excuse me, I've got something in my eye. *blink*

Leezz Thank-you, I love you my baby. Your pictures and words are just beautiful. What more could any Mom ask for than daughter like you. I've had an emotional weekend. And to lighten this up, when I posted mine someone sent me the Pink Floyd song Mother.... do you think she knows me? Thanks for making everything special.

TamaraHarden Oh, that is so sweet!! My mom, and my daughter both live in Texas, so I wasn't able to spend time with either. I know how that feels :(

Peche What a wonderful, wonderful post. Your images of choice are superb, particularly the mosaic (you WOWED me with that shot, missy, seriously well done) - it seems to represent subliminally the complexities of a relationship - the dark, the light, the colour and the things that are set in stone and never change...
Reading your words, though, is what made this post for me. I love hearing how much your three mums have changed your life.
