How My Dad Honors My Mom on Mother's Day

My parents divorced my senior year in college.  Ever since my Mom's passing (June 2012), my Dad has made a point of stopping by her grave site on Mother's Day to honor her.  Today was no exception.

Mom -- thank you for loving Jay and me.  We miss your presence in our life.

Dad -- thank for doing this for our Mom, it means more than you'll ever know.
