a well painted piece of yours, Lee..There are some families also here in our country who have experienced like this. You picture your mother here as your guiding strenght and light..She is very patient and calm..No matter what, we should celebrate Christmas, because it's the birthday of our Lord..He is the reason for our celebration..I have a poem also, The Reason for the Celebration..thanks for sharing this with us, Lee..it's very touching.. take care always, .. here's my hugs, meggie

Very moving poem Lee. I wasn't sure what to expect from the title and I was very impressed with this one. It brought back many memories (for many different reasons) . Great job evoking emotions. Sincerely, Mary
