My Mother

My mother would have been 95 today.

It has been eight years since she died. I still miss her but I guess I always will.

Besides all my memories from my 57 years with her, I have two plants from her house.

For the last eight years her Christmas cactus has bloomed right on schedule.

Mom's Christmas Cactus

And each June this clematis, which she had planted by her back porch, blooms in my garden.

Mom's Clematis

Thanks, Mom, for everything.
