I know this is 2 days late...but that's OK. Pretty sure no one was anxiously waiting my blog regarding Mother's Day!
I had a nice day and hope all Mother's did. Kevin and Nola gave me some thoughtful gifts--like a nap! It was relaxing and low key; exactly what I wanted. Later in the evening, I traveled to Calgary Airport with my Mother to collect my Great Aunt Hedwig and her man Lutz who flew in from Germany. Hedwig is Oma's older sister and they are visiting for 2 weeks.
I wanted to share the pictures of the women who have contributed to my existence...and more Nola ;)

My Mother's Day
"The Mother"
The Most Important Person...on Earth is a Mother.
She cannot claim the honour of having built Notre Dame Cathedral.
She need not.
She has built something more magnificent than any cathedral--a dwelling for an Immortal Soul, the tiny perfection of her Baby's body...The Angels have not been blessed with such a grace.
They cannot share in God's creative miracle to bring new saints to Heaven.
Only a human Mother can.
Mothers are closer to God the Creator than any other creature.
God joins forces with Mothers in performing this act of creation.
What on God's good Earth is more glorious than this: to be a Mother.
--Joseph Cardinal Mindszents
