In honor of Mother's Day, the display windows at all Kate Spade stores were decorated this past month with photographs submitted by employees. My sister submitted several photos ( given to her by my aunt) and two were selected to be used in stores across the country. KS has two Dallas stores. The Galleria store display window included both pictures. One is my grandmother holding my mom as a toddler ( black and white, center photo). The second picture was taken about 13 -14 years later in the Petrified Forest (left).It is my grandmother with my mom , my uncle and my aunt.
Today, the kids and I ventured down to check out the display. My sister had sent pics of the displays in the NYC stores, but we didn't want to miss the opportunity to see these displays in person. We picked up my grandfather and took him with us on our field trip to the mall. It was a fun and meaningful time. We stopped at the store, took a detour by the ice rink and visited the kids play area as well.
My family is proud of these pictures and the relationships they represent. It gives us a chance to pause and reflect on our love for each other, as well as the two women who have passed on. My mother has been gone for almost 11 years. My grandmother passed away almost 4 years ago. On special wknds like this I'm reminded of all they meant to me and how much I miss them. They are two of the most influential people in my life.
If you are able to speak to your mother, grandmother or other special "mom" in your life this wknd...please do. Don't miss the opportunity to share a loving word or thank them for what they do. Give them a hug too while you're at it! Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!!
