REMEMBERING

Today would have been my Mom's 93rd birthday. My mother taught me many wonderful things that I will always be grateful for, but perhaps the main gift I inherited from her was my love for entertaining and enjoying friends around my table. Mom always made room for for people at her table, and if any of us had friends that needed a place to go for the Holidays, she would have us include them in our dinners. 

A word that was often used to describe her was gracious, and I believe that was an appropriate moniker, as she always felt there was room for one more chair at the table. I think of her often as I host my Holiday dinners, always making sure the table is extended and inclusive.
    
I'm missing her gracious and inclusive spirit today.
