To all my mothers…
…the women through the years that gave me everything I am…everything that makes me…me…
My sweet mother, Karen…from whom I learned a mother’s unconditional love…and continue to learn that I have hers, each and every day…
…and so many more of my dear mothers through the generations…

So many of their stories I’ve shared with you before…so many more of their stories yet to be told…voices yet to be heard…

ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet and lovely post and so wonderful to have all of those pictures!
ReplyDeleteJulie, I wonder if
ReplyDeleteyou realize how lucky
you are, not only to
have had such beautiful,
strong women as your
guides, but that you
KNOW who they are and
their stories. Makes
me want to create something
just like you have, here.
A project of love.
Hope your day was just as
lovely, yesterday!
