The TallGrass Blog

I miss my Mother. She passed away over 17 years ago and I still think of her nearly every day. I know that she is somehow with me, and I can still talk to her, but dang it, I’d like to give her a hug, go out together for lunch, laugh together, and hear her voice.

She gave me my curly hair, my sense of humor, her lemon Jell-O cake recipe, my decorating sense, my love of animals, my confidence and my ears that get cold when it’s below 60 degrees. We fought like cats and dogs in my teen years but we came out of that tough time closer than ever. She was my best friend. I often wish that she would be here to meet my incredible husband, Chuck, whom she would have adored. And I’m sure she would have loved TallGrass. Long before the spa was a thought in my mind, I gave her a gift certificate to an Aveda spa in Kansas City. It was her first massage and she was in heaven! 

To all Mothers – those here with us and those here in spirit – we wish you a Happy Mother’s Day full of joy! It’s our privilege to celebrate this special time with you here at TallGrass.

Happy Mother's Day, Patricia Thompson Sharp. I love you!
