To GrandBoy on Mother's Day

Darling Boy,

Today is Mother's Day. It's your second chance to celebrate that wonderful woman you call (or are trying as hard as a 1-yr-old can to call) "Mama." She is the one who made me a mother. She loves you beyond all reason, as I love her.

You come from a long line of strong, loving mamas. You should feel their love coming down to you through the generations. You don't just have one mama's love in you, but centuries of love from all the mothers, grandmothers, and on back through all the "greats" of the Gresham/Bartow/Frazier/Brennan and Flores/Leyva/Richeson clans.

All that strength and love, mixed with the same strength and love from all the daddies, helps make you the wonderful little feller you are. You are one lucky little guy!

So spend the day hugging and kissing your mama. Nap when you sense she needs a break. Let her know how very special she is and how glad you are that you won the mother-lottery.

I love you more than words can tell. You are the baby of my baby. Give her a hug and kiss for me. Happy Mother's Day, Liam!

Love,
GrandMary
