At the loss of a loved one people often gather in remembrance in different ways. Some do balloon releases not understanding the significant damage balloons do to the environment and dangers to wildlife.

It seems in our culture there’s a constant struggle for more. A larger house, a newer cell phone, a flashier car.

I’ve learned some important lessons about motherhood. I’ve learned it’s much more than being the woman giving birth to a child. Much more!

There are adoptive moms, grandmothers raising their grandchildren and so many more.
