Mother's Day without My Mother

On Mother's Day, my lilac bushes are blooming with flowers. My mother had baby lilac bushes sent to me because she love the smell of the flowers wafting into the apartment they rented while my dad was in basic training at Keesler Air Force Base in Buloxi, MS when I was a baby.

My mom died in April 2022. And her lilac bushes still bloom for me on Mother's Day. That was her intention.

I really miss my mom.
