Mom Is Back
Some of my new friends may think my status is a bit odd, "Mom is back". My mom isn't visiting me physically. Her spirit is here. I was living with my mom when she died and couldn't afford to buy the family home from my two sisters. I had two weeks to find another place to live. This was complicated by me wanting to keep her dog, not Foxy. So, I needed a house with a fenced in back yard. I found this house and the rent was right. I didn't notice the landscape except that the back yard had three foot tall weeds all over it. There weren't any flower beds which was not problem for me since I'm not into big flower displays. After I moved in, I noticed irises growing in the fence line in the front yard, a few at the front foundation and a small bunch near the gate. They were just growing through the grass. Then they bloomed and they were yellow. My mom had a whole bed of irises at her house,,,several colors, but her favorite color was yellow. Now, what are the odds that yellow irises would be growing at the house I was renting? To me, the irises were my mom visiting me and telling me she's all right. I look for them every year and every year, they bloom. I don't do anything special for them, they just bloom. Like I said, they're my mom visiting me to let me know she's all right.
