Change is tough, but particularly so as we get older. With Mom and Dad in assisted living, I brought Mom back to their house yesterday to get a few more things and see her azaleas blooming. She's missed the Japanese magnolia. The peonies are close. Next weekend, their home will receive a Century Award from the City of Ferguson. Mom and Dad lived in this house for 40 of those 100 years.
Before we left, we walked around the yard. I suggested we cut some of the azaleas to take back to brighten up their apartment. "No", she says: "they'll just fall."
And so Happy Mother's Day Mom...with a few photos to save your azaleas in your memory this year.
