I don’t often show post-stroke images of my beautiful mom. I share the image (below) to share Millie’s joy.
Through three years of relentless pain, Millie smiled and expressed joy. Knowing her was a gift, and her lessons of love🌹 remain with me.
As her Halloween Birthday
arrives, I will smile impossibly wide to pay Millie’s gift forward in a world that needs a hell of a lot more love
I wish you all a fun, fabulous, creative, smiling, and safe👻Happy Halloween!

What beautiful photos-memories of your mom (and children), AM. And what a beautiful lesson you took from her passing. Instead of being outwardly sad, you’re smiling, which is an honor and Trimble to Millie. I will be thinking of her tomorrow, on All Hallow’s Eve, knowing that she is looking down on you and your family, smiling her bright, wide smile. DS 🎃 ❤️
