Everyone has a story, a real story. - Some even have more than one. I have many. Here's one of my most recent, special ones: I received the best and most gratifying gift from my mother just recently. It wasn't material. Out of all the material gifts she's given me in my life, nothing compares to the gifts of love, effort, apologies (even if they are indirect), a sense of remorse, attention, acknowledgments, recognition and more importantly, making peace. My mother showed all of the above the past couple months. She said things to me I've never heard from her lips before. She made me feel needed and special. It was special. It was heartfelt. It made the world of difference in our dynamic. It gave me peace. She showed humbleness and care, and in return I effortlessly showed her that much more. She tried, I tried, and that's all that matters in the end. Thank you MOM. I felt it. Peace to us, finally. we did well in the end ♥️ ~ Your daughter, Denise @writes_by_denise ?⏳??

I remember you waking down Rosewood Street when i was a little girl. You always looked so beautiful. Your husband Vince's eyes would light up whenever he looked at you. You not just had the beauty, but the charm too, always so loving and kind. We always shared a laugh when spending time. I didn'get to meet back up with you until i was a Grandmother myself, so what little time i had with you i truly enjoyed, and always will cherish. Mary, you will be truly missed. I am very thankful God blessed me to have the time i did with you. May you Rest in Peace dear Mary.
