Such a beautiful expression of your love for your mother Denise. I think it's so true that we simply can't know what it's going to be like to not be able to pick up a phone and have a chat with your mum, or see how her eyes light up when you go to visit her. Your writing brings back how much my mother loved flowers, roses in particular. I bet your mother loved gardens and the beauty of nature too. With much love to you at this time.
