mother's love

I am thankful for many things.  At the top of that list is my mama.  While I don't like being away from her for any holiday, this Thanksgiving was particularly rough.  It was the first one without my papa.  My heart ached and I wanted to be with her.  I couldn't take the pain away, I couldn't make it better, my presence wouldn't bring him here...yet I wanted to sit next to her.  All day.

In a feeble attempt to send our "love" to her in Arizona the grand kids created this piece of...art?

Top left hand: Ava
Middle hand: Lucy
Top right hand: Noah

Each kid then added their own flare to the piece.  Left half - Ava, bottom - Lucy, and right half - Noah.  These guys love their Nana.  Once the paint dried I pulled off the painter's tape.
and voilà!
