Nostalgic Gratitude via /r/gratitude

I am so grateful to have had the mother that I had. She has been gone 10 years this year but this was the first Mother's Day I spent in gratitude rather than grief. I thought of her with a smile instead of tears. I thought how lucky am I to have her out of everyone in the world to guide and shape me. I love you Mama. Thank you for 33 years.
