Solid as a Rock...

Before I left my Mom's she gave me this rock, with my word of the year engraved in it.

So perfect, I love rocks, and with MY WORD, perfect!!!

I thought she had gone to great lengths... where does she find the time to carry out all these special thoughts? Then I found out she had it in her waterfall for years, and wanted me to have it.

.

It was so sweet! I love it, and I am reminded as I get frustrated with my teenager and try to help him understand, that experience and knowledge is a valuable tool I have for him to tap into, and I have been where he has been... so too has my mom, she has been where I am now and wanted to learn for herself how to cherish the moments in her life, and found it important enough to have a rock to remind her.

.

In so many ways she is my Rock!

Thanks Mom!
