Happy Mothers Day

Everyone knows that every day is Mother's Day, but as we celebrate May 9 which would have also been my oldest and late brother's birthday I made special plans involving both my MoM, Margarita, and Big Brother Tony.
During his high school football days, Tony was known as The Cuban Bullet. He was fast and dangerous for anyone on the opposing side who was running with the football.

Too Far Away

LiV lives far away from me physically but never spiritually and is always in my heart. Just like all my family members, who I miss dearly.

Does anyone else miss hugs as we do? Will we be able to return to the age-old practice of shaking hands, hugging, and kissing?
I don't really know about you, but I do miss hugging my kids, friends, but most of all I miss hugging my children's children. See Sabrina and Olivia above!
