This is my first Mother’s Day where I won’t be able to visit my late mother and bring her flowers and a card. No worries, though, because I have in my possession every Mother’s Day card that I gave my mother before she passed away last month. I have every birthday card I gave her as well. Every Christmas card, every Easter card. The cards are in a bin that Mom prepared years ago for each of her six kids as she was organizing her things from the old farmhouse where we grew up.
