Portrait of a Goddess


Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, "Mo"
90 years upon the earth she loves,
Living a full life,
Inspiring all she meets with her smiling eyes,
Adventures never end,
Raising 5 amazing children (truly amazing children),
Collecting angels and bells,
Taking grandchildren for mental health vacations when things were tough,
Gardener extraordinairre with buckets of food to feed her family,
Water loving avid boater,
Exuding love from every pore,
Teacher of senior adults to continue to learn,
Practicing random acts of kindness handing out blue ribbons to favorite gardens,
Rock hound searching for treasures all over the world,
Lover of life.

To see the complete and full enjoyment of this woman as she eats a peach is my truest example of adult bliss that there is. This wise woman had her entire family of 33 gather to go on boat rides at the local lake. It was an honor to be able to celebrate with her, and we hope to be able to come to her 100th birthday party that she's already planning. Go Mo!
