You often spoke of frameworks as guiding principles at all phases of life. You spoke of structures, you spoke of lines..
Lines that when crossed with mischief, called for admonishment. Lines you drew on our exercise books to ensure homework was complete. Lines you made so clear guarding your babies from outside harm. Lines that parallel the lives of all mothers.
Today as I look at you, I see those lines etched deep in tireless perseverance; a reminder of your experiences. Those lines as you age ever so gracefully, are exactly what makes you all the more so beautiful.
