If you’re celebrating Mother’s Day today, I hope you have a wonderful day celebrating and honoring your mother with family and friends.
Today’s photo is a hand-made card/art poster my son created years ago for Mother’s Day, when he was in grade school.
Along with the card/poster, my son gave me with a handprint plaque which I keep in our curio cabinet with other treasures of our life and travels.
It’s one of my favorite Mother’s Day cards!
The card/poster includes a handmade portrait of my son, with the word ““Mother” spelled out vertically next to the portrait, with each letter defined:
- M: Marvelous
- O: Outstanding
- T: Terrific
- H: Humble
- E: Extra cool
- R: Right
Underneath is the poem:
I miss you when we’re not together,
I’m growing up so fast.
See how big I’ve gotten
Since you saw me last?
As I grow I’ll change a lot,
The years will fly right by.
You’ll wonder how I grew so quick
When and where and why?
So look upon this handprinted plaque
That’s hanging on your wall,
And memories will come back of me,
When I was very small.
Happy Mother’s Day!
