Just another day

I wasn't going to write a post for Mother's Day this year. I think I said it all last year. But given the chance to link up with Save Every Step and share memories of Mom, I'm posting a short tribute.

Mom with my baby brother who turns 40 this week xx.
Just because you're gone,
Doesn't mean we don't remember
Or can't express our gratitude.

Your presence in our lives
Is constant, loving and good.
You are all around us
And we are your monument.
