Dixie Lee Duran. I don’t believe I’ve ever met someone else named Dixie. That’s fitting, I suppose. My mother was the brains behind our family. She loved art and animals, two traits I’ve inherited. Toads, snakes, lizards, hamsters, ducks, chickens, dogs — we had them all. And she was creative: drawing, painting, scrapbooking, reading, quilting, and crafting. I guess I caught some of her flare, huh? She bought me one of my first books on writing long before I’d ever even thought of a career in the field. And at seventy-something, she’s still going strong… her and her canine roommate.
Mom, I love you so much! You’ve been a blessing. Thanks for all you’ve done for me, for your patience through my teenage years and for your ongoing encouragement. Have a great Mother’s Day!
Happy Mother’s Day to your dear mom! (I want her glasses.)
It is a blessing to me that you have honored us with a picture and thankfulness for your mom. God bless Brother.
