Tiles on Mother's Day

Your children will be like jewels.
Jeweled and precious, adorning the walls of your life.

You will be as proud of them as a bride is of her jewels.
They are your delight, your joy.

como los adornos de una novia.
Sí, tus hijos serán como las joyas de una novia.
Isaiah 49:18

Mother's Day in the US comes a week later than in Spain. This means that I was already thinking about mothers a whole week early which is good since that way I have a chance at being timely with my mailed sentiments. This year I did something special for my mom. It kept me up late and filled my coffee break moments and was the nicest gift I've discovered for her in years. Wish I had a camera for the moment she reads it.

Mother's Day in the US was always a church service and a brunch to follow, mother and mother-in-law treated to a meal with special desserts and recognition. It's a day of flowers, of lace tablecloths, of spring coffee or tea chats in the garden.

This year in Spain, it's a color.  Blue.  Remembering; deep waters, reflective and still hopeful blue.

Hours later after this post, from my four loves.
