A gift for Momma

As a young boy I gave my momma a little porcelain figurine called "Mother's Little Helper." She still had it when she passed last year. It had been dropped, broken and glued together several times, but she treasured it.

I recently saw an article taking about Gift Idea For The Woman Balancing Family And Career that I wished had been available back in the day.

This little sculpture is of a woman dressed for work carrying a briefcase and holding the hand of a small child. It reminded me so much of my own momma that I'm not ashamed to say I teared up a bit.

If she was still with us, I wouldn't hesitate to get her one. I'm sending a link to that site to my nieces.
