My mom's Bon Voyage

In case you hadn't noticed, my mom and I are pretty close.  Not geographically close- we live in different parts of the country- but we talk everyday by phone.  It's quite an abrupt change for us both when, because G and I cruise, we find ourselves talking just once or twice a week.  I sure feel it, and I think she does too. 

Last year she sent us a Bon Voyage card with a most wonderful surprise...a bit of poetry she'd written just for the occasion.  We stuck it on our cabin wall and enjoyed it all winter, and I'd meant to share it on my blog and just never did.  I'm remedying that right now:

 

This year she took it even further, and we recently received a card with this poem in it:

 

That's my mom.  I am so blessed.
