If Roses Grow in Heaven

By
Real Estate Agent with Falcon Property Company

Myrl Jeffcoat is an awesome photographer. She posted sharable, beautiful flower photos today, and this purple one 'spoke' to me. I am so very thankful to be the mom of (at least) five wonderful women, but on this second Mother's Day without my mom, I found this poem and thought it would be a nice combination with Myrl's photo.

Mimi,

That was my favorite photo of Myrl Jeffcoat .  I planted 3 roses of the same color this year and they are all blooming.  What a nice sentiment.  A

I have one of my favorite photos of my mom on my desk, Hannah Williams, and I've gotten to the point where it makes me happy to look at it, not teary. Thanks for stopping by.

Everything about that color pleases me, Ron and Alexandra Seigel. If I was a color, this would be it  (maybe a little teal thrown in somewhere LOL)

There is not a day that goes by that I don't thank God for my girls, Dorie Dillard. They asked what I wanted for Mother's Day. I asked for a day of working around the house and not having to leave. It was great! ;)

Mom's are awesome. Mine is 72 and she is still going strong. She lives back in AZ but we talk often and see each other at least once a year.
