She had a way with words - perhaps that's where I developed my love of writing. Her memories are so precious to me and I find myself missing her more as the years go by.<br /><br />Rose - thanks for featuring Cynthia. It made my day!<br /><br />Deb DeArmond<br />deb.dearmond@gmail.comDeb DeArmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02201076238956947272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894239850433039125.post-30224126623802767702013-05-08T06:10:55.613-07:002013-05-08T06:10:55.613-07:00The kind words I'm reading here, really touch ...The kind words I'm reading here, really touch my heart.

Thanks for joining me in this endeavor to both enjoy the wonder of it and sympathize with those who find it uncomfortable or painful. I distinctly remember the very first Mother's Day when I could be named among the mothers. I ache for those like me who are missing their mom, or missing a child, or longing for a child that never was.Cynthia Ruchtihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248421834478069263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894239850433039125.post-54630611877750885762013-05-07T08:08:14.877-07:002013-05-07T08:08:14.877-07:00Thank you, Cynthia for a touching reminder of how ...Thank you, Cynthia for a touching reminder of how special our mothers are to us. My own mother is one of my biggest cheerleaders. She reads every word I write and always says, "Isn't it wonderful to see how God is using you?!" She edits and critiques, but always with the aim being to serve God. I know I am blessed. <br /><br />And you, precious Cynthia, just made your appearance in my newest novel staged in Door County. You will be happy to know your book talk was a success, even though my main character didn't get to witness it...she was back in Kenosha helping her own mother through a tough time.<br /><br />Rebecca Waters<br />rwaters.author@gmail.comA Novel Creationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616233478874667105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894239850433039125.post-31275388492672101712013-05-07T07:14:19.921-07:002013-05-07T07:14:19.921-07:00Rose, your blogs are always fantastic, as are the ...Rose, your blogs are always fantastic, as are the authors you choose to feature. Thank you for introducing us to Cynthia. I was touched by her story. Honestly, I have never put much thought in to how painful of a day Mother's Day must be for so many. This Mother's Day may we keep all of those who can not share in the day's joy in our prayers. I look forward to reading more by Cynthia.

You're right--not everyone celebrates. I'm blessed to still have my mother (and father and step-mother and step-father). We don't live near any of them, but they know without a doubt that they are greatly loved. On another note, after a lo-o-o-ng hiatus, I'm just starting to read fiction again. This book sounds wonderful.
