Guest Blog: Mother's Day 2026 by the Dog Walker

 Sorry we've been having a little bit of delays with our lives. Ever since Mom and the rest of us were trying to get used to the new look of how the Little Miracles people have changed our home, some of us have been dreading on the idea that we were going to celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day without Dad for the first time. Even Mom was dreading on it, just because she remembered all those good times on Mother's Day that Dad would always prepare special times for her, like the home repairs and even the dating times.

For the past few months, ever since Dad's funeral, we have been able to celebrate the holidays and special days while knowing that Dad is up in heaven, probably working on an important job for the eternities. This year, for Mother's Day, I went to church with Mom, while Curly and Baby Doll joined along for the worship. After church, we went to the cemetery to visit Dad's stone. Baby Doll and Mom were singing a little ballad that Baby Doll learned from Girl Scout Camp that was kind of a finale, but decided it kind of fit for Dad's heavenly love.

It turns out that from now on, we have a new tradition of celebrating both the parents' days in honor of Dad. Every Mother's Day, Father's Day, and even Memorial Day, we will visit his stone, along with his other heavenly grandsons.


Afterwards, we got home and got things ready for a little family gathering. Some family members came for dinner, including Bossy, Gamer, and their kids. As a Mother's Day gift, Gamer helped replace the microwave. It's been operating without any heat and it was annoying, so we got a new one that does heat.

I even played Mom's favorite song that talks about Mother's Day, Love Me Like a Rock by Paul Simon. To make it even special, I would like to show it to you based on one of my favorite childhood movies.

 Happy Mother's Day! Love you, Mom.

Little Miracles Follow-up

I am sorry I have been a bit gone. 

Honestly, I felt pretty awful about a couple of comments that showed up on the Little Miracles post. These readers didn't think I deserved any of this fantastic gift. I have felt undeserving every day and I am so grateful that this amazing program exists! These people are sweet and kind and they give so much of themselves to strangers; this time, that stranger being me. Not only that, they teach their kids to be sweet and kind as well. 


We need so much more kindness in our crazy world. We need people who love and care for each other; people who give because they know it is right, not because they are getting anything back in their own wallets. 


Yes, I would have been more comfortable on the giving side of this event, but I also understand that in order for some people to give, some people have to receive. This project grew SO much from the way it was initially presented to me. I told my kids, "I feel like I am lying in the river, just waiting for the water to roll over me; still hoping I come up for air in the end." 

I don't know about you, but I hope to a be a gracious giver AND a gracious receiver. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ wanted us to be both. We must give all we have and then gratefully receive perfect His sacrifice for us.

Thank you for allowing me to share my truth. I am grateful for you all every day.💕
